I think you can hide or archive content on there without deleting it, could be that he's done that just to maximise the impact of his announcement and the build up.

The Twitter banter & Instagram stunt is to dramatise the announcement tomorrow. New sponsor, same car by all accounts.

There will definitely be pictures. And AJ will definitely be wearing a baseball cap in all of them.

He's touching the car with one hand, and the other's in his pocket, so he could be holding anything in there.

I've heard that he's actually allergic to the stuff - so he leaves his can taped to his dash.

Kind of disappointed, would rather seen someone else get a chance with WSR.

Good for them to have continuity. It'll be interesting to see how it pans out.

So touring fan01 is 2for2 so far with marked words.
Alfisti's suggestion that Collard would be in the 3rd BMW failed to materialise.

WSR confirmed last season that Jordan broke team rules by competing with Turkington last season.

I wonder whether this change makes it more likely that Jordan will have to toe the party line, or whether he will be more motivated to prove himself the better driver?

touring fan01 we will start believing every word you say...
So this Jordan's new era is not that new. The same championship, the same car, the same team, just a different livery. Nevertheless I'm very happy he's back, such top level drivers should be on the grid.

Jordan's good enough, I'm just fed up with him!

Reckon that'll probably be the last announcement before ASI?

So AJ is back with WSR BMW after all, meaning they have exactly the same lineup as last season. As they say, if it ain't broke. Although it is a bit strange seeing AJ's car in normal BMW colours instead of his old Pirtek livery

In what must be the biggest news surrounding the BTCC today, Jason Plato has managed to broker a deal between PSA and FCA.
This means his dream of sticking a non-TOCA engine in the Astra can finally be realised, with the FCA Global Medium Engine now an option.

I know he was capable of putting together a deal, but this one is £144billion of massive.

Great news with regards to AJ in at WSR. Like him or loathe him, hes certainly a good peddler of the car.

Seeing as AJ tweeted over a month ago the exact same thing about his car, it was a foregone conclusion that he was staying at WSR. Anything else since has just added to the hype, rumours and speculation until they were ready to make the announcement.
