Matt Simpson wouldn't be the worst driver to have in that seat. I know he's been involved in a few incidents, but he also did win a race on merit in 2018

He's entered in the pickups but he didn't run at Mallory Park on Saturday; that probably doesn't mean anything other than he didn't run on Saturday!

Ooh - yes, a mega thread with one driver listed per post, then a discussion on whether they will be in the BTC seat or not - along with an argument about whether they have more/less sponsorship than Dan Cammish.

Potential clash though with links to RoKit - unless that is the backing that she brings to BTC and we will see the name on more than one car on the grid?

Would she come out of retirement - she has shown no indication of doing so recently. I would expect more likelihood of her getting behind a graduate of the Girls on Track - Dare To be Different scheme.

So - in summary - if we are likely to see Susie in the BTCC paddock, I expect it would be in support of another female driver (which might be probable).

If we follow forum logic - Dan left because Honda pulled out. And as BTCC fans will tell you - manufacturers bring multi-million pound budgets.

Her husband's team is based in Brackley, as are BTC. Coincidence?

I've held several race licences before. They weren't mine though, I was helping out with driver sign-on for British GT

I will therefore not be racing with BTC this year.

Well they probably wouldn’t be able to afford the best drivers if they didn’t have that extra budget, even if it’s not a million pound budget, which no one mentioned but you

I have a hill climb licence. I'm sure I'm an ideal candidate.

Money is for amateurs!

We just need a couple of tidy runners off of Mr Arfur Daley, some jazzy stickers stuck on 'em and a couple of TBLs off Del Boy. I hear he has a couple and it's a pony the pair. The rumour that they originally said TV Licence on the top corner is just that.

We'll beat that Jason Potato easy...

The problem is due to Brexit, Del Boy might not be able to get his imports, like Turkish raincoats or Romanian watches, anymore
