I stand corrected, it was so obvious i guess i just recalled that old TCT article and assumed it was a done deal.

Good to see Ingram back at Speedworks. He did a really good job last year pushing that Avensis. Hopefully he backs up his fast qualy pace with some better race results now he has a season of running at the front under his belt. I also get the feeling that Tingram at Speedworks is a lot like Jordan at Eurotech. Sort of found a family like surrounding that is helping him perform.

Both very storng contention for the Independent champions if they can string a good season together although not sure how i feel about "Handy has worked in partnership with Speedworks Motorsport but for 2017 it will be a true standalone entity." i kind of feel that given they are one car entries learing and development will be much quicker if they work together

Regarding Handy:

"Additionally, a brand new high-profile commercial partner will be announced on the first day, with confirmation of the team’s full portfolio of key backers." Good to see the increased backing.

"we’re looking forward to giving everyone the first glimpse of our stunning new livery – we think it’ll be pretty popular!" Sounds promising!

I'm glad young gun Tingram will be back. As he smooths out the rough edges, he just gets better. Rob Austin really proved himself capable in a FWD car and I look forward to more performances from him this season

Just been tweets of photos of Jake Hill getting his new road car.

...but no clues there either, as it's a DS3.

Says BTCC Driver 2017 so pretty much confirms him being on the grid somewhere...

Fingers crossed for Motorbase!

I'm not sure.
Motorbase are unveiling their drivers tomorrow, but Jake said on social media that he is only at Autosport Show on Friday and Saturday.

As long as he ends up at a top team I don't mind!

As forementioned seems to be a liking a lot of Motorbase's tweets lately, also lives close to their base and has driven for them before, so that's my reasoning!

All will be revealed tomorrow!

The only BTCC team that the Citroen dealer seems to be following is Motorbase, so fingers crossed...

Jake Hill was very impressive when he debuted in the 2nd RAR Audi at Brands Hatch where he outqualified Rob Austin himself....

Tony Gilham has just posted a tweet from the Autosport show and tagged Jake Hill in it, although it is last year's Toyota.

He won the Clio Cup at his fifth attempt.

Very interesting to see how that plays out across vehicle design, performance and if anyone finds the 'golden ticket' with the new tyres/set-up.
