2+2=13 here but it's been said for a long time that James Dodd draws praise for his ability and speed. Many well regarded voices in the TOCA paddock say he deserves a shot in a modern BTCC.
The Dodd family have a few of their car collection for sale the last couple of months. One of which is James' initially intended 2019 car. Possibly to part fund a year in the big show? |

Only every fan who saw him struggling at the back, would have suspected he might want to be in different car + Tim Harvey mentioning it in commentary a number of times towards the end of 2018. Besides that becomes a bit of a paradox if Matt was making the "theres a bigger surprise coming" on the internet to an audience who apparently dont use the internet |

I replied to Rob collards tweet about Jason Plato on twitter saying "team mates? I think so. Would be a dream team" and he's liked my comment might be reading more into it than I should but that says to me he's gonna be alongside JP at PMR

A post suggesting that he should be team mates with Rob Austin. A post from someone about him retiring. A post from some who suggested he's driving for Team Parker. He also still lists himself as a Brand Ambassador for BMW - so of those three the Team Parker one would be the most likely if you were going to read something into his 'likes'. |

The big surprise is Uncle Alan is changing the regs and instead of NGTC everyone will require an NGTT to compete.

40 minutes until the announcement. If it's Ash then that's 4 months of rumours gone down the drain!

Good that Ash is back, hopefully they were able to find some sweet spot for Levorg so that they can fight up front from the scratch. Sutton-Proctor pairing is a really good one and hopefully this time we'll see two Levorgs in the sharp end of the field!
Now it's time for some sort of announcement from West Coast Racing concerning Sutton |

Blundell has already trolled JP confirming who was the biggest story.

Blundell will be just a backmarker plain and simple
he doesn't have NGTC pedigree and that Audi was never more than midfield at best BTW any info on Team Dynamics testing ? cos they badly need it if they want to make a real title challange Last edited by porsche962fan; 22 Feb 2019 at 18:27. |

well I dont think anyone is tipping Blundell for the title, let alone podiums.
Matt hasnt said much on twitter since, so he was probably just trolling us |

That's good news that Sutton will be back on the grid. Hopefully the Subaru will be competitive again as it'd be a shame for his talents to be wasted if the team are as much of an omnishambles behind the scenes as has been claimed on here.

What the Subaru needs is testing. Otherwise they'll be pants again until Oulton onwards when they repeat the form of 2016-18. That second Thruxton will throw a spanner in the works though.

To my mind the other stunt in it's development was Colin and his trusty Engineer departing for WSR - I believe Colin was the significant factor in improving that car as its first season wore on. JP, Ash et al subsequently never managed to do much with it at the tracks it hadn't ran well at in Colins hands. |

Glad to see Ash back, but it was a no brainer for BMR. Great for the series he is staying
Now let’s wait for the final few seats to be filled |
