Probably you're right, however, Smiley isn't really on par with Cook and he could be replaced by someone better. It'd be great to see three BTC cars and Jordan in one of them. Or Sutton.

I would normally agree but Smiley and Bert Taylor are almost like family, it would take a lot for him to be out of the picture

Didn't know that to be honest. So, the only possibility would be a third car (which probably is rather impossible sadly). Hopefully Cook stays, he deserves that seat.

If Jordan does end up in GTs then I sincerely hope he finds a seat in a fully pro lineup somewhere. If he can't then I'd rather he ended up in a single-driver format series. |

As for Jordan, if TitansRX survives into a second season, the aim is to be in that full-time. It's had a difficult start, but the recent races have been an improvement. |

Of course Chris Stockton became synonymous with BTC Racing

BTC Racing Limited is wholly owned by Steve Dudman. Xylo Racing Limited t/a BTC Norlin is owned by Norlin Ventures Limited, which itself is jointly owned by Richard Irwin and Stephen Symington in a 50/50 partnership.

I think if there were no clashes, he'd be a possibility. But again he's moved to the mainland UK presumably because of the constant traveling to and from NI, so would he really want to be doing more airmiles?

In 2010, he couldn't get the funds together to defend his title in BTCC, so would probably be well short of a DTM team level of budget. Isn't he backed by BMW anyway? They're looking for a customer, not to back their own driver. |

Marquardt said: “We are working on it very intensively; we’ve always said that we are prepared to provide two cars. Obviously it has to be a private team and this private team has to be in a situation where their setup is sustained and it’s funded on their own.” |

Wouldn't read too much into that. Just Flash looking after those who have looked after him. I expect the Dynamics line up next year to be rather similar to this. Dan Cam is delivering and Matt still looks like a man who is planning on racing for some time to come.
