The answer is YES. From Porsche's Press Department "All Am category drivers will – for the first time – benefit from an adjustable ABS system, providing increased confidence under braking for those who wish to use it."

It will be fine. Team HARD will be at the first race with all of their cars and you will all look very silly. Honestly dont know why you dont show Gilham some respect tbh, look what hes done in the sport. Amazing things. Always putting quality out there on the grid. Without him youd be watching NAPA v BMW

I would assume that this is supposed to be a sarcastic posting; however, you need to be clear that that is what it is supposed to be, otherwise some members will take it at face value. Especially those who have been adversely affected by the HARD affair in the past. |

Maybe time for TOCA to do some more due diligence as part of the entry process. I know Gow is spinning it that a smaller grid was what he wanted all along, but I would respectfully suggest not this small, this quickly.
The elephant in the room is the looming renewal of BTCC promoter and TV coverage for 2026, and I suspect a new potential promoter will emerge as an option for MSUK to consider. Sent from my SM-M336B using Tapatalk |

After their success running British F4 and the BRC in house, MSUK may consider doing the same with the BTCC.

The economy is in a mess, bills are through the roof and getting companies to open their wallets is harder than ever. Gow has already said he didn't want it to happen this quickly but BTCC is a long way from being the only series affected by the current state of affairs. https://www.autosport.com/btcc/news/...grid/10587353/ |

People with short memories. Last time it took Octagon half a season to screw it. Careful what you wish for - look at the state of British Rallying and the shambolic Respect project

MSV is the only organisation that could take on such a project (other than TOCA), and Jonathan has come close the last couple of times. But as usual, "I suspect" it shall stay with TOCA. |

He's consistently said since 2018 that he wanted a 26 car grid, and through this winter he has said in interviews that he wanted to get to that figure through natural wastage and thus TBLs returning like Eurotech/Welch Motorsport did, but the other teams' desire to expand meant demand outstripped supply leaving multicar conglomerate teams as well as the incestuous HARD/Moffatt/Boardly/BMR relationship of loaned/owned licences. So no spin necessary when its been on record for more than half decade. But when the next TBL criteria gets finalised with the next car spec rules expect a limit on how many licences allowed to be used by one organisation, probably 3 licences max. |

There is little in the way of manufacturer backed support series nowadays, making TOCA just another promoter trying to fill grid slots. Much of the USP of the golden days of the TOCA circus rocking up with 3 or 4 manufacturer support series is not coming back and even the prime ITV coverage may not continue after 2026, which is no doubt why Gow is testing the water with tik tok to see what numbers are like.

I'm looking forward to this season, thinking about it I do miss the teams like Welch and Handy who might spring the occasional surprise and get on the podium. The multi car teams is just what we have at the moment, I think things do need a bit of a shake up but in the current climate would anyone do a better job than TOCA?
