Fresh, hot:
Aurélien Panis --> Zengő Honda Aurélien Panis is the/a son of Olivier Panis. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aur%C3%A9lien_Panis If the team can find enough money, they will give tha second car to a hungarian driver. |

I edit my earlier post:
JAS Motorsport Honda (3 cars) - Norbi - Monteiro - Michigami Volvo Cyan Racing (3 cars) - Bjork - Girolami - Catsburg (not official, but most possible) Münnich Motorsport Citroen (1 car) - Huff SLR Citroen(2 or 3 cars) - Chilton - Bennani (not official, but almost sure) - TBA? Campos Chevrolet or SLR Citroen - Filippi ROAL Motorsport Chevrolet or Citroen - Coronel (not official but almost sure) Zengő Motorsport Honda (1 or 2 cars) - Aurélien Panis - TBA hungarian driver (if gets the money) unknown team (SMP? Oreca?) Lada (2 or 3 cars) - Tarquni? - TBA - TBA? (possible) So this is 6 official and 5 almost sure driver + 2 strongly possible + 3 possible driver. 15 or 16 cars. On the edge. I still think in this current situation the organizer should spend way much money to support the independents. There are still 5-6 TC1 cars in the storage. |

When I saw the headline 'Panis joins WTCC', I thought 'that's what the series needs, an ex F1 winner to boost credibility.' Then I saw it was his son, but hey a young driver is welcome to the series

Look like Filippi in SRL Citroen
http://www.touringcartimes.com/2017/...itroen-switch/ So only Coronel in Cruze (if he stay at ROAL) and Campos if they find drivers. |

Poor Coronel. Might be they can get a Citroen like the Münnich Motorsport could. + what we know about Thompson and D'Aste's future? |

Will the Citroëns receive any updates compared to this year? Because if they stay the same and the Cruze stays the same Coronel could still surprise here and there. I really hope they'll find the budget for a Citroën though (now there's something I never thought I'd say )

Would you prefer a Cruze or a Vesta as a privateer?

A new homologization period started this year, so this is a good chance for the competitors to a big step. |

Also, Néstor Girolami would sign with any manufacturer. |

If it's just a test, could be very valuable to the team. |

There is nothing to suggest this anything more than just a test for Yvan

I am absolutely sure Thed Bjork is already chosen, just not officially confirmed yet but he has a deal in place.
I expect Bjork will be joined by Girolami (more or less done deal) and Rob Huff. |
