One thing is clear, WSR do take pay drivers even if talent/potential isn't obvious. It keeps the lights on.
I'm calling it - Boardley to switch camps and selling his TBLs. |

Grasping at straws, but... is that a 'Mat Jackson' under the MB Motorsport team? |

Understandable that Oliphant is taking a year off to support his partner
Be interesting now to see who get his BMW seat, that's certainly going to be a hot ticket |

Highly likely:
https://www.linkedin.com/in/tomjacksonmotorsport/ 'Tom joined the MB Partners team whilst completing the final year of his Sports Journalism degree at Solent University, where he graduated with First Class Honours. Bitten by the bug from a young age, Tom has been obsessed with motor racing since he was four years old. Devoted to working in the industry, he steps into the role of PR Officer after becoming an FIA-accredited journalist working in the Formula One paddock.

Triple Eight Racing have teased a triumphant return to the BTCC this morning... on Tiktok. Didn't a fan buy the name a few years ago?

There are a few deals signed recently but being kept under wraps, so whilst it might seem quiet, there is stuff happening. Nothing new to the rumour mill from that though. A lot hangs on the TBL allocation, then expect a flurry of activity and rumours

The team was absorbed into BMR in 2017: 'At the end of 2016, the team was sold to Team BMR chief Warren Scott. He retained 888’s MG factory programme in 2017 but the cars were sold to AmD Tuning for the 2018 BTCC season. For the first time since the foundation of the team, the Triple Eight Racing wasn’t part of the BTCC grid. Then, at the end of 2018, the team ceased its operations completely. “We had nothing to use name for anymore. We have sold the assets – or they are with other people now – and so we decided to wind it up. It is a shame. We looked at running cars in the TCR UK Championship under the Triple Eight name, but that didn’t happen. It is a shame, but that is just how things go,” Warren Scott said.' Mark Nichols then established a company called Triple Eight Racing and Engineering Limited in 2018 that was then dormant for a couple of years (could this be the fan that bought the name?) I've heard that this new company has a presence in e-racing. I wonder if the return to BTCC is connected to the video game coming in 2022? |

I do wonder if we shall see more teams, especially if there is going to be a reduced amount of cars in a team

Dunno, it's been a long time since I took a very close interest in video games so I may have expected unexpected anyway, was just interested if there are any news on this at all.

Yeah I thought something was coming Winter 2021? To not have had any more information or even acknowledgement since the announcement is a bit worrying.

That announcement said 'Motorsport Games, the video game developer and publisher dedicated to the integration of racing game development and esports, has today announced that it has secured a multi-year license to create the official video game and associated esport for the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC). One of the highest profile and most beloved racing championships in the world, the BTCC has a rich history in video games and its renaissance in the virtual world will begin with the development of a new dedicated game, scheduled for 2022.' I'm not sure why people think it would be earlier? https://www.btcc.net/2020/07/29/motorsport-games-signs-long-term-agreement-with-the-british-touring-car-championship-to-create-video-game-and-esports-series/ |

Whilst the BTCC Game has been brought up - for those who genuinely want to keep abreast of updates and are interested in the background to the game's inception:
An interview with the president of Motorsport Games. 'The recent announcement of a new British Touring Cars Championship racing game has generated a lot of excitement, but there are still plenty of questions. It’s a title that isn’t coming until 2022, and naturally details are scarce. To learn more, we had a chat with Stephen Hood, president of Motorsport Games, who is in charge of the title’s development.' And a signup to receive updates. https://www.btccgame.com/ |
