Are there that many Civics floating about? Assuming they'll all be Civics, that is.

The only thing I could think of (on the Civic front) would be if Dynamics sold them their two FK8s to fund the building of a pair of FL5s?

I think that option is rather unlikely though, I think its been said/suggested numerous times that Dynamics aren't building new cars

Possibly a final fling for the reworked Infiniti?

Nope. More likely buying Dynamics' current FK8s.

Dynamics built 2 new cars for ‘22 Chassis NGTC18-006 & 007, so 001 & 002 are about somewhere.

They lost Yuasa and Honda backing ages ago. Also the new Civic is built in Japan only so getting body shells would be significantly more difficult than sending a truck to Swindon. They don’t seem like a team that can fund a New build

Yes, that's why in the original post I said it was "rather unlikely"

Moffat could be a decent choice for BTC, especially alongside Cook. A strong driving pairing

If I remember rightly, the last few seasons, where there haven't been government restrictions, they've done the press bit the night before at a hotel/venue before the on track action the next day.

3 cars? 5 cars? Running cars for Moffat?

Not too long to wait for some answers...

Two of their BTCC drivers should be announced before this Friday, and I would imagine the announcement of the British GT programme will come on either Wednesday or Thursday this week (following the recent BGT trend).

It's hilariously dreadful isn't it. It's like a team that would be racing in not Alan Gow's BTCC series.

I know it doesn't really matter, but One Motorsport has got to be the most boring name for a team I have ever heard. It reminds me of 'Racing Point' in Formula 1. I'm not sure what the marketing appeal of such a dull name is, although I didn't like BTC either as it sounded too much like BTCC (and I would be interested to know what BTC actually stood for).

But more importantly, who will the drivers be? If rumours are true about the join with Aiden Moffat racing, it would be good to see Moffat in a Civic alongside Cook, while Gamble and Proctor would also be good drivers to add to the team. Jack Goff has also been rumoured although I think this is unlikely, and I would love for Jason Plato to stay for another year. I also wonder if Plato might race for Team Dynamics in place of Rowbottom if he moves to Toyota as has been rumoured. Could that also be the place for Mat Jackson's long-awaited return?

Correct

It was originally set up to run Chris Stockton's BTCC Lexus in 2006. Stockton's company at the time was 4 Seasons Beer Tent Co Ltd.
