while Jordan will reveal his news next Tuesday.
At 4.00pm in fact.

And Moffat's announcement on Tuesday morning.

Neither in Subarus, though.

Sounds like WSR going by a poster on tentenths.
From what I've seen/heard tonight that seems highly likely now.....

Just heard that Vauxhall are coming back, possibly with Power Maxed Racing. Somewhere for Andrew Jordan to head to perhaps...

I've just heard this from someone in the know too, Chevy's are both sold, not sure where they've gone to but the TBLs have gone with them, PMR have the 2 'manufacturer' TBLs to run the new Astras.

Disillusioned by this post earlier, I've always like Jordan but the tone of this is poor in my opinion

So he's presumably slating Motorbase because he wasn't as good as Mat Jackson this year.

Let's hope an "ok team" regularly beats him in 17.

That's prtty graceless. That is the sort of thing that has always put me off Jordan - I seem to recall him slating the MGs when he left them as well, and I thought it was pretty interesting that the cars improved so much last year. I get the impression that he's maybe not the best at helping to develop a car.

Warren Scott and Ian Harrison threw a massive wedge of time and MG's cash developing the MG's before last season, 888 barely touched the cars for 2 years other than to do race prep from week to week they were just parked in the corner of the garage and left alone...

Jordan's tweet was more of a response to Dave Bartums comment on the TOCA page last week about Jackson having an excellent year and Jordan having a good year... a simple retaliation dig. But given Motorbase were prepared to send Jordan's car onto the track last year with brake discs that were cracked and on inspection by the guy from AP were discovered to be unable to last a race distance its fair to say that some teams on the grid aren't as thorough as others.... Mind you Jackson did very well last year when they threw his team mates setup on the car after not really bothering with his hehe

Turks, Collard and Jordan would be my dream team.
