I hoped to see him back purely as we share names 😂 maybe BTC now Smiley has shown his hands?
Proctor may do OK but doesn't strike me a driver who can push a team on and develop a car

Looking like my "prediction" that Plato's team mate being quite a surprise, may come true.

Thinking the rest of the announcements may take a while now. Could be in for a bit of a lull after tomorrow

Butcher has said he expects to announce his 2020 BTCC plans by the end of the month.

Well, Crees is announcing his plans at 10:30, and it seems BTC will at 12, if I'm not wrong. Or if at 10:30 too, we have the answer.

Absolutely. And not the one I thought! Possibly the other one I thought... but then again, probably not!

Nah he does that with everything. Not saying he won't be (though I very much hope not!) but I wouldn't read anything into that.

In my latest attempt to get it wrong Creesy at PMR. He will fit in well as Darth Platos apprentice.

BTC had two surprises all along it seems, Sonic being the reasonably well known one but I still can't prise a hint out of anyone as to driver 3. Flash, aha?

Well guys, I have a theory regarding Motorbase- maybe it is dumb, maybe not.

As some of you wrote a few pages back, if they really wanted to show up at ASI, even if their rumoured new Focus is not ready yet, they could have mocked up one easily.
BUT... what if they don't have a finalised contract with anyone beside Butcher?
Rory had a drive for this weekend's Dubai 24 hours, so he would have not been able to be at two places in the same time. Unfortunately he got stuck at the Istambul airport due to the problems with flights near Iran and decided to fly back to Scotland. Unfortunately the race was cancelled after 8 hours, due to torrential rains making the track basically a big lake, so for Rory it is surely a bad weekend: did not arrive at the track, the race is cancelled and he can not be present or announced at ASI either.

Someone also reported, that he is announcing his 2020 plans at the end of January. So in a few worlds my the(R)ory is that he has a contract at Motorbase, but knowing that he won't be able to show up at ASI, Motorbase have decided not to participate, having other reasons too (the new car not being ready, not having other drivers to announce at the moment, they are building KIAs etc.)

Throwing a different name out there for the Hard seat...

Josh Coggan?

Race winner in VW Cup, raced the CC in the Touring Car Trophy final round too if I recall.

And I gather he has sold his self built Golf to another driver/team.

Just watching some of the autosport interviews linked to earlier. Has Ingram been having some media training from JP? He speaks like a Jnr Plato.

He was originally part of JPs KX Academy where they got media training.

So yes.

From what I can see only Crees and BTC have said they are making announcements today and the schedule only shows 1 announcement on the BTCC stand at 10.30, so yes I would say your not far off.

Fair shout, though I’d heard the driver had done a BTCC before. As long as it’s not Crash ‘Av it’ James, fair play.

There's a Jackson onstage at 10. But who? Ollie, Mat, Tito, Jermaine or Janet?
