Indeed straight out of T-Cars into the BTCC at 17, and was the youngest driver ever till Moffat beat that record

Very fresh faced, bright, eager, out of his school cap into a shiny helmet in the Barwell Astra in '02. Teammate was Kiwi Aaron Slight (legendary bike racer) so very little race car experience between them. Both were promising that year.

Andy Neate back in a Ford but not the one he drove this year? Apparently so.

From someone in direct contact with a recently mentioned name. Additionally roundabout related, a press release early in the new year regarding a driver not yet mentioned moving to a team which should please a lot of people.
I think it's unfair to say the names as its not my announcement to make but this source called the PMR pull out before media day this year and others in the last few years so I'm confident that it's accurate. Last edited by medius; 25 Dec 2020 at 22:42. |

However, the Neate in an old Ford information is so specific it’s intriguing and got me a bit baffled. Last edited by Millvi; 26 Dec 2020 at 07:28. |

Is Andy Neate going to run his own team again this year? Would TOCA be prepared to give him a TBL?

I’d imagine it’s more likely that Parker or AmD could run him, especially the latter if they are merging with Motorbase as rumoured. Don’t forget AmD crewed and prepped the TPCR Audi’s so there are plenty of crew that won’t necessarily follow TPCR to Excelr8.

Neate not driving the Focus he drove this year.
In before it turns out he is staying with motorbase just driving the car that butcher drove this year. Technically it would be a different Ford to the one he drove this year. |

With Jelley leaving Parker and their BTCC truck up for sale, do we think we'll see them back? I'm thinking Hill, Osborne, Neate and O Jackson in 4 Focuses/Focii. But that could be completely wrong!

I would maybe swap Butcher & Jackson in my reckoning as Bartie lured Butcher to lead the development of the Focus, so may want him as part of the deal. Not that I know anything on the ins & outs if it all.

Andy Neate in a Ford could be one of the older RS's or a brand new build - we know there are some, as they were in shot in the Motorbase workshop in the video and photos of the rebuilt Rory car following that nasty shunt. If AN is back I hope the mild mannered AN we saw for the first half of 2020 is the chap in the car. Given AN is financially sound these days and many folk will be struggling to get budgets together I would think AN on the grid is a cert if he wants to be. |

Of course all conjecture 'til announcements are made. My thoughts are the combined Motorbase/ AmD effort will consist of last years drivers. AN is the one that intrigues me due to the different car mention. So maybe he has decided to go alone or join up with someone else. Roll on media day and this thread will look like nonsense |

Parker are gone. So are two another teams as we know them.
But one mega squad with race winners. And one meaty team with title contenders. |

Have Team Parker announced they are leaving, or are we just guessing from 1 transporter for sale and talking to some bloke who knows very little?
