[BTCC] BTCC News & Rumours 2025

[BtccLee]

I know it was Finals Day and the mood was high, but I did find the optimism from Tim, Jade, and Paul at the end of the itv show somewhat reassuring.

I do think this will be an intriguing winter, for both the BTCC and support series, and am already counting down the days until we are back at Donington.

As for new cars, only front-end team I can see investing/making the jump is NAPA potentially, given the fact the Ford seems to have reached the peak of its development window.

Certainly going to be a fascinating few months seeing how it all shapes up.

No

There's a difference between a driver who always finishes just outside the points or always dead last. As someone who follows a series I want to see that difference.

Looks like a farewell post to WSR on Adam Morgan's Instagram. Those will be 2 prime seats up for grabs now at WSR for next season. Will be interesting to see who will be in the mix - think Watson will be for sure along with Gamble and Bobby T. Pretty much the same names as last off-season unless someone comes out of left field.

he thanks everyone for the season and his insta message ends with "hopefully see you back here next year"

DB stated that they are working on being a 4-car team next season.

Morgan + 4th car = 2 spaces.

Someone must have the FK8s somewhere. I watched a video of the Dynamics workshops and they were nowhere to be seen, just an FK2 hiding in a corner awaiting rebuilding.

I believe one motorsport still have the 3 FK8s and have the intention of returning in 2025 but we shall see if that happens

Confirmation of the 2025 British F4 calendar, supporting BTCC at 8 meetings and skipping Brands Indy (for Silverstone GP layout) and Croft (for Zandvoort).

Let’s hope the grid grows by 4-5 cars for next year and that a few more teams/drivers can make the necessary improvements to be more competitive. The disparity between Ford, BMW and Hyundai compare to the rest of the grid was quite large this year. Hoping Toyota can catch up into the mix with hopefully Cook and
Huff who I think did a decent job in his first year back more than capable of mixing it at the front.

Hopefully ExcelR8 will field a more competitive driver line up as that really did hinder Ingram this weekend. Chilton had a decent season and will probably remain. Fingers crossed Zelos gets something sorted.

I can't see BT going to them in all honesty. Sure he was brilliant on his Snetterton outing, but the sponsorship issues no doubt soured relations and they (both he and WSR) might not be willing or able to move on from it.

I think the cars across the grid are pretty even, as has been shown by the battles up and down the grid. The best drivers, with the best teams with the best budgets/preparation are at the top.

TTT from Blundell himself

Watson? Would seem an obvious pick. That could be 2 Team BMW WSR cars and 2 MB ones. Turkington, Morgan, Hill, Watson? Possibly. Or maybe Gamble instead of Morgan.
Was always thinking that one day Blundell would add another car to his "team."
