That’s true. That was a weird day really.

There must’ve been something going on behind the scenes but it just seemed like he couldn’t be bothered, no fight in him whatsoever

[The Wookie]

Stand down Rodneys, it appears that the controversial happening has unwound itself and something less surprising, although still interesting is going on!

[Robmarriott]

Ok so Mat Jackson is staying, that’s good as it leaves another surprise....

So Wookie, does this mean that when the less surprising but still interesting thing gets announced and we're all disappointed, you can then tell us what COULD have happened?

[MondeoMan1981]

I can't keep up with all the ifs , buts and maybes!

So who are we waiting on confirming from the usual crop of drivers?

Jackson clearly, has Moffat confirmed anything?

[Pericoloso]

The shame of it !

Wookie in fake news shocker......

Maybe the fake news can already be found on the thread

If you were to accidentally get the first letters of the name he wrong way round legally you’d be fine

Just be patient!

[Speed Badger]

Matt Neal has tweeted that a replacement for Flash may well be announced tomorrow

[Robmarriott]

Announcement at 12 today, apparently by a car driven by a scot last year so a Merc, a Civic or a Focus.

Matt Neal said something about an announcement tomorrow about a driver too.

So... realistically it’s going to be a Merc announcement.

Unless it’s a Motorbase announcement which would answer the Honda question too.

My guess, Cammish at Motorbase, Jackson in at TD

[Robmarriott]

Aiden Moffat confirmed for Laser Tools in a Merc as suspected.

So... 5 seats left?

Cammish would be a great choice.

[Dan BSCS]

Cammish would be wasted in BTCC. He's better than that.

Agree with that ,Porsche should find him a seat in an RSR for the WEC, LM24 or the US series I have forgotten the name of.

He won't end up in a Porsche Works seat this year, because they've already allocated the drivers for IMSA, WEC and LM24.

[Blink982]

Cammish is is good enough for a factory drive (understatement IMHO) so where will he end
up?

[Pericoloso]

Is he actively looking for a BTCC drive ?

I'm not saying he isn't good enough, but the works cars (2 cars in WEC, 4 at Le Mans, and 2 in IMSA) already have the drivers allocated for the 2018 (and 2019 for WEC) seasons. There's still numerous seats in GTE-Am to be announced, so maybe he could end up in one of those seats.
