BTCC The Annual 201 Predictions Thread

[850Estate]

Apologies to all our non-BTCC friends for swamping the forum with all these threads

You know the drill, 5 predictions just as we did last year http://tentenths.com/forum/showthread.php?t=146694

Last year these were mine:

1) A Subaru Levorg won't complete any of the three races at Brands Hatch
2) Team HARD. will change one of their drivers at least once this season
3) Rob Austin will get a few podiums for Handy
4) Kelvin Fletcher will miss a round for filming commitments
5) MG will surprise a few people with their pace

So here are this year's:

1) Team HARD will win a race
2) We'll only have two new race winners
3) At least one manufacturer team will change at least one driver during the season
4) The Team HARD CCs will be referred to as 'Passat CCs' by at least one driver/commentator/interviewee at each round
5) Dave Newsham will find himself on the podium at Knockhill

Edit: In my excitable haste I appear to have missed out the 7 from the year. The 201 BTCC season was a good one so I've heard though.
