He’s on a deal with NAPA for next year at least, as is Cammish. Although these multi-year deals tend to get broken more often than not!

The multi-year deal doesn't seem to mean that much. However, Ash himself said he wants to stay in the BTCC for years. But well, this is not even a contractual obligation!

To be fair that's normally where the driver is bringing budget, which isn't the case here.

It also depends on what the team does and also if a deal with a manufacturer comes to the end. If that happens, that can throw all sorts of things up in the air

No, it depends on the consideration and get outs in the contract.

It also depends on a personal situation.
If Ash's business is doing fine and he and his other half want to stay close to family with the baby, then perhaps that decision influences his racing career.
When he was ready for the switch to Oz last time he was in a very different place as a younger lad without commitments.

On another topic - are there still Friday shakedowns at some tracks this year?

Heard somewhere it was “banned” or rather they’re just not doing it anymore, can’t remember who but from a driver interview over the weekend somewhere!

It was only introduced in the first place to give teams a chance to shakedown if their regular shakedown venue was closed due to Covid.

That's a problem that's gone away, so the solution is also no longer needed.

Just watched race one on TV Sutton wins from Hill by 2/10ths both on the same tyres. Why are people getting excited by the Ford pace? The supposed best driver wins by 2/10ths - looks like BOP is pretty good to me

Confirmed in Dan Lloyd's latest video as Matt Neal comes into shot: "we've got Matt helping us this weekend".

He's looking like he has the worries of the world right now. Hope all is well.

May I ask - why would you wish talent away from the series?

Or is it from the other side of the equation and you are hoping to see him in a series you follow more closely?
