Fan vote is something they should avoid. We already have the reverse grid, what more do we really need?

Michael "Creesy" Crees or Jade (no surname because she's my friend on Twitter) would be on pole all season long ?

The series doesn't need extra performance balancing.
Maybe give the teams one or two extra test days before the season starts.
If there are problems with the hybrid parts they could tune it down or even disable it.

wouldn't Jessica Hawkins get a massive vote to be on pole (if she raced more often) ?

I guess it depends on who is voting (and particularly the method).

There are big disparities across the multitude of platforms when it comes to driver popularity, with a few surprises to be found.

Bobby Thompson said during an interview during the Dubai 24 hours where he was driving CWS’s Ginetta that he has no interest in BTCC and feels GT racing is where his future lies.

The teams can have as many pre-season test days as they can afford.
There are no restrictions on the number of test days before media day.

BTCC testing at Croft - along with a few other categories (usually Redline with all of their 911 Cup cars) on March 22nd.
Free in if you're in the North East area.

By that I don't mean Redline will bring 911 cars - the maximum on track for the day is 25....

What we can assume with absolute certainty is that he has put up a picture of his coffee machine! More importantly, what coffee was he using, and can we therefore assume that they will be his primary sponsor for this coming season?

Not sure there is too much to take of Flash's picture. Could just be he loves coffee and not any sponsor deal
