Apparently Priaulx is joining Ford in WEC.

So it looks like he won't be in a WSR BMW in BTCC.

Don't blame him tbh ford gt drive in the wec or a btcc drive in a bmw 1 series. So this leaves one space at wsr did seem a comment about 1 driver being signed 1 almost signed and another waiting, one space left with wsr Jackson goes back if he gets dumped by motorbase.

Priaulx has been a BMW works driver for a very long time now, so it must have been a pretty good deal from Ford for him to leave.........or his contract wasn't going to be renewed!

God I love silly season and all the speculation!!!! Love it nearly as much as race season lol :-)

Some great posts though,and tbh,,,think there's still one or two TBL's yet to change hands and a couple of shock decisions/announcements too!!

Ohhh and just read that Motorbase/Pirtek are to unveil the car and colourscheme at 14.30 at silverstone tomorrow,,,,whats the odds on the focus being facelifted??

I think everyone is. BMR have the power to possibly blow 2016 silly-season wide open. Just wonder if/when they will?

Yea the rumors with buying out 888/ possibility of Subaru deal and maybe running pair of jags be very interesting to find out what is happening.

lets hope BMR are in it for the longhaul. Would be disastrous if they go bang / he loses interest and the BTCC loses 5 / 6 cars and 2 teams. Im sure Gow is astute enough to bear this in mind.

Here is a pic of the new Motorbase / Pirtek livery for Jordan, for those of you who don't want to go trawling



I noticed that Alain Menu is driving an Impreza for the Asian Touring Car Championship. Considering his link to BMR, this is possibly where the Subaru rumours have come from...

Looks like at least one of them is going then

The advert gave a baseweight of 1185kg. I thought they had to be 1250kg?
