I was going to give him the benefit of the doubt and say he must have hit some tyre markers. Glad I never now!

Thompson would be the perfect fit for Dynamics and Honda based on previous reputations, it would be interesting to see what Steve Neal would do if Honda said the deals on for a works team but it excludes Matt Neal as a driver.....ummm

Why would Honda & Neal not been linking up? Just because you hate him IceBaby doesn't mean he's a bad driver.

Well, love him or loath him you can't deny that he has 2 championships. He's a top class driver.

Since RWD with a seq gearbox got -20kg start weight compared to other cars last year in BTCC, that statement seems very very weird. 2010, with enforced longer 1st gear might cause some to switch back to H-pattern, but those 20kg should still make it tempting to run seq.

I've been pretty worried about the BTCC during this silly season, although I feel slightly better after seeing some possibilities. Best case is Turkington alongside Neate at WSR, Collard and Adam at Motorbase, Neal and Thompson with works-backed Hondas for Dynamics, and Plato and Jackson in Cruzes for RML, a Triple 8 Vectra for Gio and 2 SEATs for Jones and Shedden, plus competitive Fords. Worst case is most of those on the sidelines, with pay-drivers in a few others. I can't remember it getting so late iwth so little announced from the big teams.

Look at all the very late deals for the WTCC announced in the last week, and their season starts in less than 2 weeks! The BTCC is still a month away. Relax. Last edited by touring fan01; 23 Feb 2010 at 18:27. |

Motorsport news this week has a story on a chevrolet uk works team in 2010.
Also, in an odd source for a driver confimation, it looks like motorsport vision have jumped the gun by confirming Collard as a motorbase driver in 2010: http://www.motorsportvision.co.uk/br...sp?NewsID=5414 Quote:

Shaun Hollamby has said on btcc.net's forum that someone has purchased the Astra SportHatches to use this year.

It's a shame more of the teams don't do website blogs etc like the new VW team. It is very interesting to see the amount of work they are putting into preparing their car, and now having browsed through their photos etc and seen the preperation work, it would certainly make me wince to see anyone rubbing panels with them.
