That would be a bigger coup than when Turkington originally went to BMR!

I still think the Passat's could be handy especially with the RML kit.
I'm sure they're available at a surprisingly reasonable price.

It'd be a massive shame if he doesn't end up at WSR again.

Not expecting Rob Huff are they as he's announced he's leaving the Honda WTCC team today? I've no basis for this I just like the idea.

I can see Ash Sutton hopping over to Subaru. Really hope Colin gets back with WSR and steal the championship from under BMR's nose.

I'm assuming JP doesn't want Turks in the team as he has worked his a@$e off to pull the Subaru deal together and doesn't want someone else reaping the rewards. JP found out for certain that he is not the best BTCC driver, at least in rwd machinery, but as a racing driver you have to eliminate the competition any way you can. I feel sorry that Turks has been shuffled off for effectively being too good, but as I said hopefully a WSR return may be possible, only problem is Andy Jordan won't be happy with having another super quick teammate. Well, whatever happens there could be 10 drivers that could win it.

I'm calling first podium for Wookie smile

Looking at what Dan Lloyd did in those cars he could spring a surprise or two. Well I hope so anyway as it would be good to see another team a bit further up the grid.

Hmm, I wonder who could possibly be in the frame for his seat at WSR...

Will definitely be interesting to see how Goff does, though - like many others, I think that the Eurotech cars were amongst the best on the grid last year.

Turks and collard or someone else if collard doesn't return.

Other than another noob with a wedge of.m cash no not really. There incessant over-hyping is just tiresome and annoying. I genuinely don't get how they have so much support from so many fans.
