Yes I think AWE will be in the MG6, id love to see Jackson in the other but he wont be, Shaun was just doing his usual twitter trolling yesterday

My feel is TOC might yet be back in BTCC with motorbase, if we go on the basis of his twitter likes recently lol

CALLED IT! LOL

[Robin Marriott]

The other picture says ‘Toca’

[btccbloke]

that 'a' looks like reflection, doesnt sit the same or as clear as the other letters when zoomed in

[Robin Marriott]

Ok well either way it won’t be who you all think, it would say his surname in full, like it used to.

As much as I would also love to see Tom back, it does look like the pictures have been taken at a specific angle to get the name / number in shot...

[btccbloke]

I have never been bowled over by TOC to be honest, I know I have championed him a lot in this thread but it always struck me he was never really going to fulfill any BTCC potential and never really seemed to be completely committed with all the mid season team changes etc

Exactly - fair play to whoever went with this.

It's clear when you look that they've used some of the Tordoff stickers to come up with 'Toc' and '60'. If it was a genuine name, it would say Onslow-Cole.


Wouldn't surprise me if Gow was also part of this somehow - they're promoting the fact that this season is the 60th anniversary, and is being run by Toca (which the car says in later shots).

no smoke without fire sometimes, lets see

They've probably had to butcher a 'd' or similar.

Remember, they will have the stickers for 600, 3, Tordoff and Chilton.

So able to make the Toc and 60, but to complete 'Toca 60' they need to create an 'a'.


Now if they hade some 'Jackson' stickers left over.........

[850Estate]

Apologies for ruining the fun, but Stephen Jelley appears to have already taken the #60. Just some fun from Motorbase I reckon.

[luckn002]

In other news, we have now surpassed the size of last year's thread (2,783 replies)...

Hooray for the gaining popularity of the BTCC!

Bear in mind that Eurotech, AMD and Dynamics are also there and would have some stickers with them (although only AMD or Dynamics could help) and they’d all be more than willing to join in the fun

Shouldn't confuse lack of commitment with lack of budget.

[S griffin]

Interesting to see AMD testing in Spain as it is usually only the big budgeted teams that go abroad for testing

If it does genuinely say Toca 60 then could this be a potential 'wildcard' entry car. perhaps with all the Jackson/Team Dynamics Talk, part of the 'deal' saw Toca step in strike a deal with Motorbase to run a guest car, perhaps seeing some old names for one-off appearances.

I love how the off season has become so long now that little things are being picked up and blown out of all proportion like this......

Quite a late media day and first round this year, it's making things worse. Still, more time for Dynamics to get sorted.

[Alfisti]

ButchA surely?

😁

Bit of Motorbase getting tongues wagging, that is all. Their man is signed and it ain't TOC.

AMD are running without any stickers on their cars - so may not have taken any.

Eurotech have Goff, Simpson and Smith - so no 'a' with them either.

Glad to see Brian Toca finally getting a drive. Much under-rated club racer in my opinion.

there is an "a" in their surplus to requirement Jackson stickers tho

[swooshiain]

I do think that Hollamby is the comfortable winner of silly season - some top-notch trolling on multiple occasions. Hats off
