Gamble with RWD teams.... The only other RWD team this year was Laser Tools, who are looking for new cars and we know Motorbase are considering RWD options but their 4 drivers are not expected to change. Are there more teams making the switch? BTC and PMR are the only ones I can think of

Can see Morgan at WSR, they like giving drivers a chance.

Not sure if this is the right place to post or ask. But is there anything other than Autosport/Motorsport News magazines and Touring Car Times/Touring Cars Net websites to get BTCC coverage. I mean more than just news and race reports?
I did like the Inside BTCC stuff, and way back when the Super Touring mag was out in the 90s. Just puzzles me that a championship that has a TV audience, I was told around 300,000 a race, (would love to know if it’s accurate) and big crowd gets less features in Autosport than some other stuff. I mean, in the UK surely BTCC has a bigger following than DTM or WEC (when it isn’t Le Mans.) I know F1 is the main thing for Autosport, but you’d think they’d try and pull in some more readers. If there is another thread for a question like this where would I go - don’t want to hijack off-topic. |

We're still here, even if the eMag isn't. Currently no plans to make the website into another news site like TcT or TouringCars.net but if there are any suggestions you want to make beyond all the stats then feel free to go for it... |

It was hinted at the end of this season from the likes of Parfitt and ITV Sport that the Infinitis would be retired after Brands GP.
Even if they were just being speculative, given the lack of success they had this year I think another car must be worth considering. Moffat and Patterson 'tested' (at a Team HARD trackday thing) the CUPRA last month. |

But I did have some breakthroughs. Joined Readly (Autosport/Motorsport News are on there cheaper than buying copies) and found Racecar Engineering magazine - have to admit that a lot of it is above me, but there's some good explainers on Hybrid - BTCC popping up i Octane and AUtocar (some good some bad.) Also found a mag called Motor Racing UK - they sent over some PDFs of old issues - lots of massive interviews with drivers and some good stuff on UK racing, never heard of it before now. Still, can always go back to the race programs. |

So is it (likely) 4x drivers at WSR or is someone making way?

Good luck to the guy, but with, if they are retained for next year, 2 other proven race winners, surely it follows that the drivers will be competing against each other and therefore possibly diluting the individual driver's championship points tally.

Dick has asked Motorbase if they fancied the 5th BMW for Ash (I think that was a bit tongue in cheek somehow) Last edited by Jon411; 30 Nov 2022 at 17:52. |

One other detail I noticed in the article is the sentence 'Morgan will [be] making his Manufacturers/Constructors debut'
This confirms the category in which WSR will enter, and strongly suggests that at least two cars are likely to be 'Team BMW'. |
