Goff at motorbase not unless he can raise the right amount of budget

btccbloke · 4 Dec 2018, 13:14 (Ref:3867840)

What happened to Ollie Jackson at Motorbase?
After his test with them his comments elsewhere suggested people were surprised/impressed and he had sponsors ready to take a step up the grid

Pdh · 4 Dec 2018, 13:18 (Ref:3867842)

Maybe motorbase just aren’t ready to announce their drivers yet

A world where Jack Goff has more budget than James Cole - I'm sure that doesn't exist, much as Jack would like it to, and as hard as he works to make it come true.

He’s apparently got everything in place, so I’d be surprised if he isn’t in one if their 3 cars.

Which will be an enduro and he'll share the car with JP and The Stig.

That has a familiar ring about it...

J, C, T..... The Tordoffs do have a licence! 😯

S griffin · 4 Dec 2018, 15:05 (Ref:3867862)

Wasn't that the original line up for 2018?

ollie Jackson.

btccbloke · 4 Dec 2018, 15:19 (Ref:3867867)

Cole was disappointing, Tordoff was clearly disappointed
I can see them both moving on

porsche962fan · 4 Dec 2018, 15:25 (Ref:3867868)

speaking of Jackson , anyone can see Mat back this season ?

btccbloke · 4 Dec 2018, 15:32 (Ref:3867869)

nope, the world has moved on. plenty of new guys coming through, not someone renowned for the budget he brings

How about Tordoff back at WSR if Collard doesn't return? Tordoff has a decent budget so could presumably afford the seat - and he had his best season in the BMW.

One for the rumour mill, some people i've spoken to are suggesting Cammish will rejoin the Carrera Cup with the Dynamics new Porsche team, Goff to replace him. Along with that, Cook is to be in with Sutton at BMR and Plato going the other way to PMR.
How much is speculation or based on fact i'm not sure but I hear this from a couple of people in some teams. Either way, interesting one to talk about, would be a shame to lose Cammish if this was true!

Alfisti · 4 Dec 2018, 16:48 (Ref:3867887)

Interesting. All could happen too!

I'm not that fussed. I found him a bit petulant at times last year.

Cannot imagine a driver ego settling for such a demotion in the same team....Shedden on the way back?..

Hmm, not sure why Cammish would want to go back the Carrera Cup when he's already won it twice before though!

As for the Cook / Plato switch, it'd be a great shame to see Cook step away from the Astra after such a strong championship finish this year.
Plato / Proctor would be a pretty uninspiring line-up in terms of personalities!

Still think Sutton will end up at WSR...

Shedden's been comfirmed with Audi again in WTCR next year

Just sharing my thoughts on somewhere I could see him going! Don't think Cole will be back there after a very meh 2019 but like others have said it comes down to budget, I suppose

Alfisti · 4 Dec 2018, 18:05 (Ref:3867908)

Cole was out driven by his team mates more often than not, but he's a very decent middle of the grid driver who acquitted himself pretty well this year IMO. He brings funding too... and Bartie thinks well of him. I would not be surprised to see him continue alongside Sonic and with Ollie J completing the line up. I'm hoping Tordoff and his Barbie paint scheme go off and look horrible on some other grid!
