Technically it was M-Sport not Ford that developed and homologated the Fiesta WRC - but they couldn't have done that without the agreement of Ford at least.

So that answers the question of whether Dynamics will be building new car for Eurotech.

New model for Dynamics, old model for Eurotech.

I would say (and hope) that would be pretty likely.

Other than HARD and perhaps BMR it's starting to look like there won't be as many driver changes as previous years. Just hope there's space for Hill or Epps to move 'up'...

Would make sense. Goff still looking around, however.

He does indeed, the TBL belongs to Simpson Racing (the name he competes under team wise), he took it to Speedworks initially, then to Dynamics & on to Eurotech, as posted above, he’ll be running out of options soon!

And now Newsham has seven in seven seasons with BTC Racing.

Hopefully Simpson will do better in Eurotech without the pressure of the works team. He's not that bad, he just needs to keep it on the road more often, as he has shown signs of speed at times

Seems unusual when last year the A-Class was a lot more competitive than the Audi. Don't think a red and metallic blue S3 would look brilliant either!

If this happens then where would the 2nd A-Class go? Two cars at Ciceley?

I thought Moffats Merc belonged to him/Laser rather than to Morgan/Ciceley?

Or has it changed hands? If so and to Ciceley who's TBL have they acquired - Lasers with the car?

More questions than answers...

Maybe he's been on a booze cruise and stopped by to say hello and set tongues wagging...

I wonder whether Ant Whorton Eales gets a chance to do his second season. Honestly I think he should.

According to what he said and the fact that he tested a BTCC car, I believe that a comeback is on the cards. Quite surprisingly though...

Could it be that JCT600, his family's dealership empire and his primary sponsor, have found out that the BTCC is a better ROI than the GTs?

The impression I always get with drivers like Tordoff who head off to do GTs is that they’re trying to cut down on their racing budgets by becoming ‘Pro’ drivers.

Alternative truth for Moffats switch; Cicely to build a new car, AmD to run the Mercs? Unlikely, I know, but the thought entertained me.
