Be interesting to see him with a full time drive didn't do to bad on his one off outing in 2013.

On other news rotek audi is still in the same workshop in the same state as it left Silverstone at the 2nd to last rd last year. Very sad to see such a nice looking car just sit there in a pile of bits.

I do think the overall grid quality is up though. Even the guys running at the back have had success of sorts in other series. And at the front the mixture of young talent against the old guard is fascinating. And once the grid is fully formed I would say there should be 20 top quality drivers, then 5 or so good and then some regular.
Agreed now some of the big teams plans have been announced it does look like a very strong season, new cars and teams, drivers with new cars and teams too big shake up this year. Be interesting to see the last few seats announced and who the drivers get to grips with the new cars.

Preferred to see ingram along side Jordan at mg but be interesting to see how goff gets on in a top line team.

Surely motorbase will do the same again this year than last year 2 team cars and the dextra focus instead of the crabbies sponsored focus.
Also looks like marc hynes wont be back and 888 will be down to 2 cars.

Hope ingram gets a drive alongside Jackson at motorbase.

Speedworks seem to be very quiet of late too.

Not many seats left not long left till media day.

The Dextra car is the same as Mark Hynes MG last year, it's classed as a separate entry not a Motorbase entry.
Motorbase only ran 2 cars last year as the 3rd was the crabbies sponsored cars which im guessing is the dextra car.

Smith and Depper in the Eurotech Hondas, that's about as uninspiring as you can get.
Both aren't bad drivers, depper was good in the minis a few years back hes better than smith. Would like to have seen ingram there if not at motorbase alongside Jackson.

So you posted about Motorbase announcing their GT drivers in the BTCC threa.... Makes sense.
FFS read it again. I said motorbase are announcing news tomorrow which is what motorbase themselves tweeted. They didn't mention btcc or gt just general news that why I put it on here. If they had said we are announcing our gt line up tomorrow I wouldn't have posted it.

Is that too fking hard to understand.

Sad news with motorbase 2 top end car not being able to run. No matt Jackson or cole until half way through even if they do turn up. Im surprised they were allowed a tbl without the founding in place which was the reason the tbl in the first place was to stop teams saying they be there but not turning up.

Good to see the s3 back but nick Hamilton wasn't that impressive in clios a few years back so not so sure he really deserves to be on the grid but lets see.

Seen the pics of the audi could be new model from them bonnets looks different from the a4.

The Infinitis were not there as far as I can see?
They had cars there, one looks like it was the chassis on display at Autosport.
The infinitis look good, looks like its going to be a good year and a close battle between plato and turks. Nice for Honda to be so orginial on there design, for all the talks of that car being so new its looks exactly the same as the 2013 hatch.

But another none runner today,,,,and only running for half the season too.
loads of teams/drivers haven't used the test session at media day before so no real surprise considering hes not out till half way through. Interesting to see that motorbase is within the full 32 car field but as with nick out half way through.

The hard avensis does look good though.

So who do we recon to be a first time winner this year a few strong drivers this year without a win in the btcc.

Top one being priaux although not sure if he even won in the production cup back in 2001 but he hasn't won in the main class.
Goff in the mg is another strong possibility along with ingram and moffet.

Could either smith or deeper sneak a win in the civic smith was close a few years back.

Im as always looking forward to the first race.

Any chance of showing a bit of respect to the drivers by using capital letters for the names and spelling them correctly?
Now that would be a real first time win of any season.
Oh I forgot this is ph spelling matters.
