There seems to be a lot of assumption here that no-one has approached Jackson about a drive. It might well be that teams have approached him and either the finances didn't work or he simply decided that after the drama earlier in the year, he didn't want to do it...

So if Geddie is back, do you think we'll ever see Frank Wrathall again?

This obsession with Jackson is getting tiring now. He's clearly off doing the garden until the end of October.

I would imagine this makes him a more likely prospect for a seat next season than Hill (if he wants to return to the BTCC)? |

Not saying I agree with that point of view but people don't seem to forgive easily these days. Geddie was lucky it wasn't worse but people only ever remember the outcomes not the might have beens. |

I'm still wondering about the spare Subarus. Just realised this ain't the silly season thread! |

While he made a huge mistake I don't know anybody who hasn't at some point done the same thing although without the circumstances leading to such an unfortunate result. Although I would never these days use a phone while driving (not even hands free) I have in the past when it wasn't illegal to do so, so I tend to think of it as fortunate for me not to have been in the same position. I don't think he should be punished with a permanent end to his career although I think if he returned to racing it would be a nice gesture to be part of a road safety campaign and have it advertised on the car alongside the Dynojet sponsorship. |

Don't worry, he will be replaced by another name eventually. A couple of years ago and it would have been Paul O'Neill's name being spouted every time there was a seat to fill.

Yes I know and it was much more than just sponsorship but the drives that are available at the moment all have existing sponsors and are multi-car teams so there will always be other sponsors to consider.

Geddie never stopped racing just not btcc, he has been busy win GT racing plus he has cash, with the north sea upturn his family business is doing better

The third cars at Motorbase, WSR and Eurotech all run a different livery. So the fact that the cars are multi-team is not an issue. And then there's the continued speculation of a Speedworks expansion - which would match previous experience? |

Ollie Pidgley announced for HARD. Can’t work out from he press release whether that’s in the Hill/Welch car or replacing someone else (Caine?)

Still, another driver change doesn't look good for HARD. |
