James Cole just been announced for the seat in the last BMR Subaru

Edited by Save Ferris on Tuesday 16th February 17:37

well a surprise! My theory out the the window then.

I'd guessed 888 so I was half right, it's the right building and team owner

[Northern_Monkey]

Cole's been done a few weeks - other pieces of the jigsaw should start slotting into place soon

[DanielSan]

Reckon Aron Smith is regretting not just letting Plato through now?

[ZX10R NIN]

Maybe the reason he didn't let him through was because he wasn't getting a new deal.

Are you aware of who Aron is working for at the moment?

[DanielSan]

For his sake I'd hope it's not in a BTCC car this year, there's no particularly good seats left.

[Janesy B]

The Passat CC wasn't a brilliant car either to be honest, I think Plato could win races in a milk float.

A Triple 8 MG or the Power Maxed Cruze wouldn't be a massive step back. Better to stay in the series and work on a better seat for next year than sit a year out.

No point letting facts get in the way of a good driver bashing...

This smith is still employed via bmr so the logical choice is the mg at 888.

[Speed Badger]

I think it's fair to say we all know where Aron will be, the potential of the car worries me, but hey, it will still be in the mix.

[btcc123]

Is BMR having James Cole in the team just the same as Dynamics having Andy Neate and all about the money.

Andy Neate was a fair way back with Jason Plato at the front in the MG which was the same with James Cole when in the Focus with Matt Jackson winning races.

Is James Cole a much better driver than Andy Neate and if so by how much.

[DanielSan]

He can be worse than Neate, I don't think that's possible.

Going by Facebook, the Welches seem confident to be there again in 2016. Given the Proton is for sale do we think Dan might do similar to Rob Austin and pop up in another car? Still a few seats left...

[alsaautomotive]

Simon's definitely not running another car this season so that's one TBL accounted for.
Rob's having his first test in the new Avensis this week in Portugal.

He has either bought the infinitis or has himself a focus no other choices out there really. Unless they have a secret car in the planning.

I am sure I heard Hyundai shaped whisperings on earlier pages / other threads regarding Dan Welch

[MG CHRIS]

Well da newsham changes team again to power max racing but not in the btcc but the british rallycross series.

[Rob197]

He was already with powermaxed racing? Just changed series

Correct I meant to say with power max racing in a new series.
