Any idea on the final PMR seat yet?

It's between those not signed yet, heard Proctor, Bobby Thompson (though one of those two signed to Excelr8 if the jungle drums are correct), Rick Parfitt Jnr etc. Adam Weaver openly saying they aren't rushing as they are only one of 2 Seats left, so can pick 'the best' from the free agents!

So the question of BTCC 2021 (if it happens) will be what did Sam smell?

Hopefully not long before another announcement. Although it feels it bit weird without the Autosport International happening this month, we always look forward to announcements there

Agreed I'd love to see Rivett get a full season, but don't think he's in the mix sadly. |

I really hope Mat Jackson gets the PMR seat. I was delighted to see him finally returning last season and was very disappointed that it couldn't happen in the end.
PMR said he would have first refusal on the seat this season, but sounds unlikely that it will happen, which is a crying shame. |

Mat was probably eager to come back and show he still has it and now sadly it looks like we’re never gonna see him in the series again

Hamilton back for another year, although doesn't say which team.

I felt sure Nic Hamilton would be at Team HARD, but if Excelr8 have just signed someone, and Hamilton has just announced that he’s signed a deal, maybe that means Hamilton will be in a Hyundai.

He's a very nice young man, is very humble and I am very happy he is continuing his motorsport adventure. My gut says with Tony, though I do not know - certainly the two have been talking.

I guess the logical place for him would be HARD, but we’ll see

I apologise for being so pessimistic, but a line-up of Hamilton, Edwards, Crees, Butel, Smelt, Neate, etc, is hard to get excited about. In recent years it seems more backmarkers are staying and less promising rookies are stepping up. |

indeed , the other spectrum would have been guys like Priaux, Huff , Yvan Muller etc (re)join the series but those are pipe dreams

Out of interest, which of the following sets of five drivers would be your least favourite: Boardley, Goff, Neate, Butel, Hamilton. Bushell, Plato, Thompson, Jelley, Smelt. Martin, Simpson, Lines, Fletcher, Howard. Holland, O.Jackson, Belcher, Stockton, Welch. O.Jackson, Morgan, Griffin, James, Hughes. George, Wood, Depper, Forster, Hollamby. ** I had no idea who would appear when I decided to trawl back every two years - but some names stand out as backmarkers who are now accepted as worthy of 'hanging around' ** |

Still, there's a lot more good names at the front than bad ones at the back. |

I'm not aware of anyone from the obvious feeder series knocking on BTCC team doors; the funding step from Clio/ Mini to BTCC is big, will probably look even bigger at the moment with the train wreck of an economy and many businesses trying to survive. Few are thriving.
