2017 BTCC silly season

[Robmarriott]

Did Eurotech have more than one wheel fall off? I know Depper's came off at Silverstone but that was due to a coming together with another car, the (TOCA mandated) upright sheared in half! Definitely wasn't the fault of anyone behind the scenes.

[DanielSan]

Depper at Donington and Smith at Brands aswell,sure there was one more.

Has anyone heard any rumours, have any theories or know any insider info on Turkington, Tordoff or Jordan??

Three top drivers who appear, or are confirmed, to be on the move??

[Sammo123]

Turkington will be at WSR next season. Not sure on Tordoff right now and there's talk of Jordan ending up in one of the Passats next year.

How much is that is down to other teams getting fed up of Plato's moaning?

Not sure if it's been mentioned yet but has anyone else seen this - http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/126972

Surely a blow for BMR?

Its how BTCC is run - Hondas were making more power, so got nobbled on boost pressures, RWD cars had an advantage on starts, so they changed the rules on 1st gear ratios.. its nothing new.

The entire thing is synthetic.

Unlikely he'll be in a Passat, he'll want a car that can win. It's being kept very hush hush at the moment where he will end up for some reason.

Haha, I certainly don't think he will have helped the situation!

Because the announcement loses its effect if it comes out ahead of schedule...

[Robmarriott]

So he's bought three Passat CCs back then, that's a disappointment.

Pitrtek deal gives him enough cash to get in the best cars and that's where they want him, he won't be in a 3 year old car at the end of its development curve that isn't competitive.

So what options does that leave open to him??

The whole RWD Subaru plan was based on exploiting loopholes, they can't have expected everyone else to be happy about it.

[Allyc85]

Team Hard to run the Vw Cc's next year, while Jordan will reveal his news next Tuesday.

I think he'll be in a Subaru. Money talks....

[Stuart Thompson]

Sounds like WSR going by a poster on tentenths.

[Robmarriott]

Bushell posted yesterday on Facebook asking people to guess what he's doing next year, he's confirmed he already has a drive lined up but now which formula.

I wouldn't be surprised to see him with HARD.
