Onslow-Cole hopeful of a seat at Aon - linky - no surprise there really, deal still to be finalised though.
And since I'm bored, let's have a look at where we are so far... Likelihood is purely my opinion based on what I've read around the web
Any that I've missed? I haven't included John George simply because nothing has been heard. |

I wasn't sure about that one - he was supposed to have the car at Autosport "subject to finalising sponsorship", and it wasn't there. Just enough to sow a seed of doubt...

Hi
Just thought we would keep you guys up to date on our plans. We had a visit from Peter Riches from TOCA today and ran through our BTCC VW Golf. Peter completed his visual inspection of the car and confirmed that we are eligible for BTCC and we look forward to the start of the season. Here is a shot from our race area today with Peter Riches, Chris Tweed (AmD Millteksport Team Manager) and me (The tall one!). As you can see we have started the areas that need rebuilding and the new aero package starts development next week and will take 2/3 weeks. We will have a "BTCC Blog" on our website, www.amdessex.com, in the next few days alongside our "Workshop Blog". Cheers Shaun. P.S. Just looked out of my office and now the engine and gearbox are out! Last edited by shaunhollamby; 21 Jan 2010 at 17:45. |

Looking great Shaun!
Some (non)news from Matt Hamilton's Twitter: ''HamiltonRacing: very exciting news about 2010 today....trouble is, its a secret!!'' BTCC confirmation I bet. |

Not suprisingly IF Motorsport's plan to enter the BTCC with the Abarth has been shot down by Gow:

Meanwhile, there was a headline on daily sports car recently "Chad Racing to pro'ceeding into 2010-a three strong KIA BTCS entry" does this mean Kias in the BTCC? I'm not a subscriber of the site so couldn't read what it said, but if anyone is, can you tell us what the article says?

It's unfortunate, because Chad Racing are a British team, and are obviously well staffed with good guys who know what they're doing.
How much modding would it take to get their Kias to BTCC spec, does anyone know? |

The Kia's use the chassis of the old Megane Trophy car.

Actually they are based on Chad's Peugeot 406/7s from the old French Supertourisme... someone from the team posted that info on here last year.

Let's hope the driver of that car gets his drive back in the BTCC!
