I know people don't tend to want to elaborate around crashes if they end up being serious but considering there is little other information, maybe a bit more detail will help explain exactly what happened?

The Ciceley press release doesn't actually say that they will be on the BTCC grid in 2021

Assuming they are, what are the obvious/logical options?

- New A Class hatch
- A class saloon/CLA which should be slippy-er than the hatch
- C class to go RWD
- Focus from Motorbase

They haven't specifically said they will in BTCC in 2021, but I think we can read it that they will be.

I'm relieved it's not their departure that's been confirmed. A good call to switch to a new car, I'm curious what it'll be

Never heard of it before today. Not exactly the hugest amount of coverage out there for what it supposed to be quite a presitgious race, particularly as the FFF was live streamed the week before
Ho-hum, t'was ever thus in motorsport.

It will either be a BMW or a Honda as these seem to be the only cars capable of winning the championship at the moment.

How likely do we think they'd move away from the Mercedes brand, given Ciceley's link with them?

Still going to be big boots to fill in the office, my guess it will be someone who is already in the industry.

Remember Adam started out in a 'yota. Bonny blue with orange wheels so it stood out and his nan could tell his car from others. Just saying.

Considering they only signed a 2 year deal originally with AmD, I expect more news on that front as well as a change in cars.

TPC did team up with PMR in TCR/TCT, but this is definitely about their BTCC plans!

Only here could we possibly read a post with the words:

'Do not miss this! Tomorrow 4pm BTCC 2021 Announcement.'

and a copy of the BTCC official championship logo in the associated image and reach the conclusion that it might be about another series......
