Racing for Heroes have taken over an existing licence.

From current thinking on other forums looks like united autosport wont be back so that frees up 2 entries I have a feeling 888 wont be back or will field a 2nd mg alongside marc hynes as a privateer entry so that frees up another space also cant see lea wood being back with the avensis.

Good to see another new team in the btcc and supporting the other catorgries as well all we need is more numbers in the other series to make the support package more attractive.

It does seem that 888 are taking GT3 more seriously next year with an entry in the Dubai 24hrs etc, so maybe taking less interest in BTCC.

That's what im thinking tbh they will have 1 car for marc hynes but tordoff looks to be of to go gt racing and plato looks like hes off to another team as well so they may just do what they did in 2010 and run 2 of the mgs independently the other one would be good for tom ingram.

Plato is a strange one where will he go, motorbase maybe if they build a bmw3 series as he wanted a rwd car to compete with turks, cant see him being at wsr, Honda no way, so motorbase is the only top team left.
Going to be a rather intresting off season.

New build? As smith sold his car to depper

Can't say yet as I need to do the deal, but I'm having a test at Donington on the 11th. A hint would be that it's a car with Alcon brakes, so it makes a lot of sense for me!

Rally Cross?...

Will we ever see Andy Neate in BTCC again? He seemed to put an awful lot of effort into his cars for the 2013 season, even set up his own team and then didn't resurface for the 2014 season.

Depper owned a 50% share in Smiths car, he never bought it outright. But there are a number of changes that may be occurring with the Eurotech team as a whole I've been told today. All to be announced soon....

Presumably to do with Smith now being a shareholder.

Plato to WSR on the same type of deal as 888(bring your own sponsor)?
