But seriously, it would make a nice change to see a top rider make the switch to cars as it hasn't happened for a while. No idea who it could be though. |

He certainly seems more settled at WSR than any other team

Delighted to be back with Motorbase maybe. Or in a Honda at Norlin...

It won’t be Norlin, they only have two cars and AJ will have his own livery, they wouldn’t run more than one livery on a two car team.

I heard that Norlin were only backing Smiley & not being the teams title sponsor hence the BTC name only appearing on their social media etc. Having said that I am sure AJ will be staying at WSR.

And he got into motorsport because he loves it. Remember his programme on his racing hero Colin McRae?

Chris Hoy is no kelvin fletcher style celeb racer, he has a good record and is committed.

Hoy was unlucky enough to go with Nissan for his motorsport transition - and was then dropped along with everyone else when the LMP1 car turned out to be a bag of magic beans, and the new GT3 car wasn't cutting the mustard. He'd probably do fine in BTCC. He was certainly fine in everything else he raced.

I’m not knocking Sir Chris Hoys racing career but he’s pretty much always been doing endurance racing where he’s had a experienced team mates that he can learn off, he wouldnt get that in touring cars, plus he wouldn’t have a team mate to drag the car into better positions when he’s having an off day, he’s not used to wheel banging or the type of contact you get in the btcc
