I think Dynamics have snatched Jackson from Motorbase.

No mention of him in the last few features on the team just all about Chilton.

As tempting as it is to carry on the wind up, there’s no hint in the use of Rodney, it’s just a popular cliche in my office!!
Guy Martin? He’s quit from Honda withno real mention of a new team for this year, and only ever dabbled in track days with cars, though he has got his race licence after doing a Time Attack round at Cadwell in a Pro Class Evo last year.

I’d be surprised! He had a go in a Caterham R300 race a few years back and struggled, he’d obviously be capable but would presumably need a fair bit of building up to be on the pitch

I think this is a fair shout given current crop of drivers on the market....

I wouldn’t put it past Gow to encourage it, it’d bring a fair few extra people through the gates...

Re 888/MGs/AmD.

I am working on getting someone a drive there (helping with getting funds etc), but its a little tricky as with all drives.

Its been on-going for a couple of months now, but lets see.

Not an existing BTCC drive, young blood! Obviously cant say due to pride reasons if it doesn't happen.

If it happens, Wookie I will see you at most races smile

(I met you at the lower paddock at Brands a few years back when you racing the Ginettas).

Good luck!

Killer signing that. I’m going to have a bet on motorbase for the overall title I think, mega team this year!
