I think Honda are going to use Honda Accord's and Vauxhaul Vectra VXR's
Don't know about Mike Jordan though.
This is 'Borrowed' from 10-tenths
Vauxhall
Planning to build an all-new Super 2000 specification car for next years series, probabily a Vectra VXR.
Want to retain the current driver line-up of Giovanardi and Chilton. Giovanardi is keen to remain with the team next year.
A possible third/fourth car will dependent on pay drivers again. Whether Gavin Smith retains his seat after what has so far been another disappointing season remains to be seen. Kizilirmak want's to compete in at least half of next years championship, and with the sponsorship he brings, he would be able to fund the running of a fourth car.
The team will continue to be sponsored by Holiday Inn, who announced a two-year partnership at the beginning of this season.
SEAT
Seems a formality that they will recommit for 2007 with the series moving to thier type of car. Chances also boosted by the considerable success this years Leon has been in the series.
Depending of the situation with the WTCC and BTCC calendars, it is likely SEAT will retain the same driver line-up. Darren Turner is keen to get his chance at a full season in the series next year, and could drive a third full-time Leon in 2007.
James Thompson's continued participation will be dependent on the number of clashes between the BTCC and WTCC. Ideally he would compete the full season in both (he's requested this for several years now)
Team Dynamics
Is looking at a possible switch to the WTCC. Steve Neal is upset about the switch to Super 2000 rendering his Integras useless, and is threatenig to withdraw (where have we heard that before)
Has previously said he is keen to remain in the series with at least a two-car operation, even if plans to enter Matt to the WTCC go ahead.
MN recently reported that Gordon Shedden is likely to get another year in the teams second Honda Integra after impressing this season.
The team still harbours ambitions to expand to a three car line-up, but would require significant additional sponsorship for this to become a reality.
The team is tipped to enter Honda Accord Euro-Rs in partnership with JAS Motorsport, who are behind their entry in the WTCC. The team is keen to build their own versions should they go ahead with Accords.
West Surrey Racing
Team hope to retain RAC sponsorship into 2007 after a successful year in 2006 (at least so far!)
Are unlikely to be satisfied with running restricted MGs that are ineligible for the overall championship, especially considering their current placings this year.
Team would like to run three cars, but only have backing from RAC for two to be entered.
Team Eurotech
Highly likely to remain in the series. Mike Jordan has enjoyed competing this year, and is keen to continue.
Car choice is dependent on the teams, and Mike's ambition for 2007. Should they decide they want to go for a proper attempt at winning the championship, they will need to purchase a new Super 2000 car to replace their Integra.
Motorbase Performance
Were already working on a two-car 2007 entry back in October 2005 before Dave Pinkney asked them to run his Integra.
Team is highly likely to continue next season, possibly with this years Team Dynamics Honda Integras.
Fast-Tec Motorsport
Appear to have withdrawn from this years series, although at time of writing there has been no official confimation.
Geoff Steel Racing
Has described his entry to the series with his BMW 320i as a two-year programme, and with the level of investment the team has made with the car, is highly likely to continue as the series switches to the rules his car runs to.
Team Griffin Racing
How many times has this team featured in a rumours page? Finally entered a car with Richard Marsh - and hope to continue the program into 2007. Very likely to retain thier current Peugeot 307.
Quest Racing
Eoin Murray has described his part season this year as preparation for a full entry with his Alfa Romeo 156 next year. Whether this happens is soley dependent on funding. On the positive side, he will have one of the best privateer cars available for next years championship.
Synchro Motorsport
Will probabily continue with thier Honda Civic Type-R after a successful season so far, one which has seen James Kaye finally take his first podium in the series after 14 years of trying.
Xero Competition
Has two suitable Super 2000 Lexus IS 200s, one of which is currently raced by Adam Jones. Adam is looking at opportunities in the WTCC for 2007, so a continued program is dependent upon finding (a) suitably funded drvier(s)
Kartworld Racing
Want to run two-cars next year, the second possibly for Paul Bird. Should plenty of MGs available for next season. Jason may become involved in a partnership with WSR Super 2000 program.
Infront Motorsport
Spent most of the year so far trying to sort a troublesome Alfa Romeo 156. The team look to be finally getting on top of the car, and hopefully they'll return for a more competive season in 2007.
Techspeed Racing
Provided Fiona Leggate remains commited to the series, this team is likely to enter again. Is looking at its Super 2000 options for 2007, and maybe expand to second car, possibly for Paul O'Neill or John George. Highly likely to continue running the cars on bio-ethanol fuel to retain EEMS backing.
Team Cylde Valley Racing
Plan to run a pair of bio-ethanol Chevrolet Lacetti's, one of which to be driven by Dan Eaves.
CMS Motorsport
Henry Taylors trying to set up a BTCC entry
Speed Equipe
Said they'd return with a new car. No news since.
Daniels Motorsport
Still hoping to enter Andy Neate at some point. Have lost Nuts sponsorship.
Arena International
May be looking for a return to tin-tops now their sportscar program has folded.
Don't know about Mike Jordan though.

Hi there,
Popped into Donington today for half an hour or so to spectate at the General Test and take some photos.
This car was out on track: -
Obviously one of this year Team Dynamics cars that has been sold to another team. Not sure which team are running this car but Mike Jordan's Team were around the pits, although they may have been there to look after the Ascari British GT car they are running for 2007 which was also out on track.
Regards
Tim
