Oh god, the Chilton brothers possibly on the same team? That could be interesting.

The only time I have seen Max Chilton race this year was in the LMP1 Zytek at the LMS round at Silverstone back in Septemeber and I was very impressed.

If the last rumour I heard was true then there may be a change of plan as far as the Chilton brothers go. Seems that Tom may have signed to drive for another team. Given the team I'm a little sceptical, but it is silly season and anything is possible.

Apparently, Max has a new F3 car for 2008, So the ford drive may certainly, only be, as it is listed, a rumour! |

Max wasn't eligible to score points for most of the year, as he was entered in the guest class because (I can't remember right) either he was too young or his licence didn't enable him to score.

I don't think anyone will want Tom Chilton after his current bad season, I still think that Arena will be running TC's car ...

Three where a couple of other names in the article too - Rickard Rydell and Paul Radisich. I think those names can go in the I will believe it when I see it.

I'd love to see a return from Mr Radish. He's not got a full time V8 Supertanks seat so could come over to the UK.
What's Aaron Slight doing now? I believe it's TV in NZ. Another thought - now he's matured a bit (and has won the ATCC), do we think Farique Hariuman could make a BTCC return? I think he could get some good results in the right gear. Re. Arena ... what cars would they go for? They could either develop their own Foci (unlikely) or for that matter something else, maybe go down the customer route. In that case, a pair of Lacettis could be useful, a brace of C30s would be usable, JAS might have a couple of Accords floating around to sell, someone has developed Corollas, maybe even a pair of BMWs, that would boost the Beamer count fo five, plus any E46, Rick Kerry and his team-mate ... |

TCT reporting Chilton to Dynamics ... doubt it myself. |

I could never see Arena going for Volvo C30's, at least not cars from Polestar.

I like the sound of Arena with a pair of Ford Focus or Chevy (Daewoo?) Lacetti's, a new car for the BTCC.
On the subject of who'll partner Flash at TD, I fancy that Gareth Howell will find himself back there next season. |

From the conversation I had this morning it seems the whole Arena/Ford project may be on hold for now, or at least no longer pressing ahead quite so quickly. |

What I meant was, they have looked at doing a touring car programme, and it didn't materialise?

What will Huff do next season? He might be dropped next season at Chevy in the WTCC. Second Seat, or maybe second TD Honda?

He hasn't been unconfirmed but I still haven't heard anything that says he has been confirmed. When I last read about RML only Menu was signed up. |
