Agreed - but I have been informed that one of the cars I listed as confirmed will not be the model listed.

If that information is correct, then either Speedworks are not running the Corolla, or one of the following teams is going to run two different models:

Dynamics,
WSR,
Laser Tools,
HARD,
AmD Cobra,
BTC,
Motorbase.

Of those, the only realistic multi-marque entry would be BTC or Motorbase....

True but to miss a whole meeting is very unusual and very different to a brake failure in one race. Moot point though without the original context as I said.

As I hadn't put Simpson and Team Parker down as confirmed cars, then that leaves - HARD, AmD Cobra and Motorbase.

Putting your information along with that from Pickles, then the 2020 grid will see a multi-marque entry from one of those three.....

It's not that unusual. IIRC, WSR had a driver miss 5 meetings in a row as recently as 2018

The original context, if I am understanding it, is that WSR have two drivers to select from. One has a consistent track record that puts him as being the most successful BTCC driver in history (in terms of championships). The other is below 17th on the all time list.

Just a thought, would TPCR run a RWD car for Blundell maybe as he wanted to try that. It could also fit with the rumour one TPRC driver has signed? Probably way off judging by my track record. :😂

if Blundell wanted RWD but couldn't get WSR seat wouldn't have made sense to aproach Team Parker ? ? as they could run a 2nd 1 series or the main one if Jelley doesn't return with them

Boardley in a #HARD BMW is what our new poster suggests. It could explain the impending announcement that became delayed...

And Carl does have RWD experience, which adds legs to my mind.

A Team Hard BMW? Where’s the car coming from for that? Jelley selling his?

HARD announcement at 2:00 tomorrow.

They mentioned a 'twist' for the postponed announcement, so Boardley + new car is starting to add up...

I would of thought a change to RWD would be more of a factor in a change of car.

Chassis F21-2013-01, last used by Collard Jr in 2018, has been stored at WSR since the end of that season.

Maybe HARD haven’t bought the car and Boardley has & they’ll just run it for him.

On the subject of RWD cars there are 2 Infiniti’s kicking about at Laser Tools as they are having new cars built. Looked like one was heading off elsewhere (not BTCC) but potential for someone else to switch if they prefer a RWD car.
