Hope so! That means, unless he's at Dynamics, it looks like Proctor might be missing out this year.

Would be sad. Proctor had a very solid season last year and I'd hoped to see him continue with Hyundai. He'd be a better choice than Butel or Parfitt, of that I'm sure! But now it seems unlikely he'll be back on the grid, unless he's going to make a surprise move to Team Dynamics (which is not likely at all).

Or he has run out of money which is pivotal these days...

I reckon he'll be back on the grid in 2022.

[Matt K]

Unfortunately may be true he has run out of money, otherwise I believe he'd be on the grid already.

Hopefully he can return in 2022.

[BTCC frog]

I suspect that Senna Proctor was offered a drive with Excelr8, but rejected it because he thought he could get a better drive, as he was in the running for the second Ciceley BMW. But he was beaten to that drive, and maybe others too, to drivers with more money or just better drivers. If that’s true, he’ll probably accept a less competitive drive in 2022.

[Jiiiiiiim]

While Bobby T might be likely at PMR, but the deal isn’t done yet, so still up for grabs. Proctor & others may well be pitching their case still!

Pitching their wallets more like.

[medius]

I can see Senna in a TD Honda. Mark can afford the seat.

I wonder if we will see anymore newbies apart from Parfitt

http://www.btcc.net/2021/02/26/silve...season-launch/ Media Day at Silverstone on 22 April. No fans, obviously, and proper media only, so none of the fan "journalists" that have tarred the profession over the last decade or so.

And all competitors all now confirmed it seems....

Aren't we forgetting about the top secret factory Kia outfit sponsored by Volvo with Yvan Muller and John Cleland at the wheels?

Is that the one that will only allow photo and newspaper coverage by fan "journalists"?

It also suggests to me that the calendar is staying as is. I don't think they'd intentionally have a launch day in April if they weren't going to start for another few months.

Any Facebook fan group conducting Q&As is evidence enough.

I'm other news I hear all seats are now buttoned up now just awaiting for media day to reveal who's got which drive.

Buttoned up? Is that a cryptic clue?

The Team Dynamics and Team Hard seats have been taken for weeks, if not months now.

The Power Maxed seat was the last available, but was 70% certain it hadn't been signed a while ago.

Yeah heard with PMR their was a front runner and deal now actually signed, though had been agreed in principle before.

[S griffin]

I wonder who the PMR seat will be? I know there have been suggestions of Bobby T, but it's no means certain. Would be good for Bobby, but I also have a feeling they might have signed a rookie
