It’s been a good few years - Covid aside- that the season has started this late.

If Plato was testing with them yesterday, I don't think they would announce someone different tomorrow!

Shame for Proctor, hope he is able to find a seat somewhere this year, I guess outside the BTCC now.

And the timing of the announcement tends to suggest it's a big name...

And they didn't bother announcing the reveal time for their other two drivers (I don't recall).

Now watch it be Proctor!

Even in a Porsche a stopover near the banks of Blackadder would rather hamper being at an early doors press conference well south of the border...

You may have to consult the Hong Kong book of Kung Fu on that one

I actually always thought his name was Henry, but I looked it up and you’re right, it is Penry.

If JP is still driving his '19 silver Panamera, which by all accounts his last twitter post seems to indicate, then I hope he gets his MOT sorted out very soon. Like minus one month ago. Otherwise there might be a different announcement tomorrow morning !

That Plato is the third BTC driver I'm more than certain.
Wonder where that leaves Proctor, will he be able to sort out a drive outside the BTCC?

2+2 =

Proctor = PMR + (Hamilton = HARD / Ricky C = Speedworks)

I kind of got used to the idea of Constable racing alongside Crees at PMR would be a major step back for Proctor to be at PMR rather than BTC but I'd rather he was there than not on the grid at all. Who knows, after all, Lloyd was very impressive towards the end of the season in Astra so Proctor may do some reasonable stuff.

But that's theory, I think it's still Constable who's more likely at PMR.

I genuinely hope the 100 wins happens this year, proven race-winning car and team and this year with some solid pre-season testing it seems.

If you don't need lots of money for a BTC seat - can Proctor afford a seat elsewhere?
