The final interview at Brands with JP was very telling, despite Colin being incredibly diplomatic, JP didn't mince his words!
I fear it may be a result of who is tied in with who. Isn't the whole silver line tools and Subaru deal JPs doing? If it is then it kind of puts the clear team leader out in the cold.

True, but in the case of Subaru, I'm guessing the corporate management would be far more keen to have the best possible chance of victory, rather than rewarding someone for bringing them into the championship. Never can tell, though.I'm also going to be interested to see if Honda try to change their platform - weren't there mutterings about trying to bring a RWD car to the table in the future, based on a new 4WD model a la Subaru?

Yeah they referred to the Subaru as 'Frankenstein' it depends on the new civics engine layout i think the reason the RAR audi and the Subaru were allowed RWD was because of a north/south engine layout. if a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo was in the Championship it would have to be FWD by virtue of it being East/westI'm also going to be interested to see if Honda try to change their platform - weren't there mutterings about trying to bring a RWD car to the table in the future, based on a new 4WD model a la Subaru?

There is rumours that Subaru will revert to the impresa model with the levorg only being for this year.

Can we expect Whorton-Eales or Bushell to move (back) up?
Based on the interview Bushell gave during ITV's coverage at the weekend, he made it sound as though he was far more likely to return to the Clio Cup next year, rather than find the budget for BTCC, as he felt he had unfinished business having just barely missed out on taking the title by such a small margin.grenpayne said:

Desperate too see some of the new young guns in a Honda Ingram, Sutton, Cook or Morgan. It's time for Matt to go although if what Cook said was true about Matt's Dad threatening him he won't stand a chance.
I seriously think Subaru will want Turks back driving next year, it will pretty much be a guranteed title for them.

Plato has already told Warren Scott that he doesn't want Turks in the team next year.
Whilst I don't doubt that for a second, how much clout has JP's demand actually got? Turks came 4th in the championship and JP 7th, so surely it can't be automatic that JP gets his way? grenpayne said:
