A lot of teams were very impressed with him last year so he certainly isn’t short of admirers. Personally would like to see him at WSR but I think perhaps Speedworks or Motorbase would be more likely.

Yeah, the seat at WSR would be awesome but with Morgan and Hill confirmed there, probably there's no space for Gamble. I guess Turkington and Jelley will remain with WSR.
I'd say Speedworks is probably most likely but of course the most important aspect is money.

Has he done much FWD racing?

Looks like he has only driven RWD during his career. But I'm sure he will adapt to FWD

Personally glad to see Dan remain on the grid. His budget has dictated his seat but a SEAT is a SEAT none the less (yes im aware its a "Cupra" jn badging)

At Speedworks? That would be a strong trio. But a large amount of sponsorship leaving Dynamics….

Wasn't Hamilton in line for the 3rd Corolla last year that never happened? And if the seats at Hard are filling up...

A couple weeks ago-ish saw they were doing a big corporate event with Toyota and Butcher, which is hopefully a good sign the relationship will continue (of course nothing to say the contract hasn't ended since then!)

Just started watching the BTCC review DVD today. The first round at Donington seems like it was in another season than 2022

Yeah couldn’t get enough funds together so had to go for the cheaper Hard option, so unless he’s got more backers I can’t see him being at Speedworks. A Butcher, Rowbo, Gamble line-up would be a stronger combo.

yes , that was almost a super touring era race

[S griffin]

Just seen the ITV BTCC review. Great programme as usual. Great to relive so many great moments, including seeing the finale at Brands on the TV having been there. Can't wait for 2023, hope to attend more

Seats seem to filling quite quickly this year, assuming as seems to be expected that
Turkington
Jelley
Butcher
Cook
Osborne
Jackson
Shedden
Rowbottom

All stay with their current teams there is probably only about 8 seats left already.

I wonder what Dynamics' next move will be. The FK8 was completely out-developed by the Hyundai and Toyota this season. Shedden got results in that car that it really shouldn't have been able for but Rowbottom was nowhere this year. Despite that they're continuing with it (not much choice I suppose).

I wonder how long they'll continue in the BTCC.
