All a bit cryptic at the moment from AJ.

If you try and read between the lines - 4 days ago he told BMW he wasn't open to bribes, and today he says that he's moving to a 'New era'. Both would suggest his future is not in a BMW in BTCC.

In reality, his announcement on the 18th might be that he's bought a new house!!

Well, on his Instagram page everything was deleted, just this new era photo is present. I suppose something completely new, in a different series, but I would love to see him remaining.

Whatever he's announcing, Motorsport News will carry the story.

Have a feeling Dick Bennetts will have a few phone calls then! Will it be run under a seperate sponsor or a 3rd 'works' car?

Would Proctor have enough backing for WSR? Because otherwise there aren't that many current drivers that would. (Blundell? Collard return? Will Tordoff be tempted back?)

Tuesday update.

Butcher added as a possible at Motorbase, based on numerous hints/suggestions that he will be there.
Jordan returns to being with doubt, due to his 'New Era' posts on social media.

"A new era." Looks like he's out of the BTCC. Or I suppose that could just be the start with a new sponsor.
He's having a personality transplant. Out with selfish self important I love me and into... what?

Its a shame that budgets are so high still for "top drives". What is the going rate for a WSR seat, £500K?

I don't know. But if it is true that he is on the way out, then he has definitely showed his true egotistical nature by making a BMW-related post 4 days ago about himself.

'You know my terms'
'You can't bribe me'
