If Crees is talking to Speedworks, that might be an indication that the rumours of Toyota departing are true, and Speedworks are on the hunt for drivers who will bring more budget or that they are having to downscale their ambitions.

Interesting BRDC Superstars article in Autosport by Jake Hill, which he basically says he’ll only drive for WSR in BTCC, but sounds like deals pretty close with MB to continue.

Anyone got any idea of upcoming driver or new car announcements? The Excelr8 new driver announcement seemed to just appear without any buildup or teasing.

BTC Racing perhaps building towards an announcement? Posts yesterday on their social media channels.

I recall Motorbase were very early with their NAPA sponsorship announcement and new drivers for 2022.

Any clues from those close to drivers/teams that have a hint of news and what’s coming and when?

Unfortunately, any indication from someone with information could result in a team changing their release schedule.

Last season was ripe with examples of where a planned announcement was amended because of hints and suggestions being made.

Taken back when BTC hadn't got their livery or kits sorted yet I'd say, it took them a while to get that together.

Plato even had to wear one of his old Subaru suits at the beginning of the year.

I wonder if we will see a surprise in the BTC team? Wonder if they have got a new car in line?

Plato wearing his old suit says to me the budget might not have been that big at the beginning of the season

We are in the last few days for registration now, so you can expect the TBL list to be published soon....

It seems from the article that Ciceley is off to historics, and Adam intends to stay in the BTCC.

The obvious conclusion is the MB Motorsport 2-car entry with Adam Morgan and Jake Hill.

If Morgan is accounted for in leaving or going to MB / WSR, guess that makes Gamble an attractive driver on the market.

Changing from running your own team to essentially an 'arrive and drive' deal will hopefully keep Adam Morgan in the BTCC.

I can see how the article can be read either way. I took the 'being too much' as being about running a team as well as driving:
"Running a team is a full-time job and Caroline has more than a full-time job looking after the ‘ankle biters’."

But it could be a full departure....
