[Kraken]

He said he's taking a year out but I can't see him coming back to be honest.

Looks like Matt Neal has retired then.

Year out apparently according to Neal. Honda/Yuasa pulling sponsorship could well be a big problem for the team as a whole. Be interesting to see how they get on this season.

You got them all then, either your Alan Gow or could you pick the euro millions numbers for me this week

Interesting, I guess TD need to do what they need to do.

Good to have another poster on here in the championship, my only fear I have is it'll spawn more weird and odd stalkerish posts (you know who you are!)

I was going to suggest the other drivers are safe because you’re camped in the bushes outside Wookie’s house. But then I thought better of it.

You laugh but I have actually had someone knock on the door of my work before asking for me

It's never shocking how weird people can be, but the BTCC does seem to attract some weirdly obsessive and strange fans.

It might just be me but I don't even try and approach drivers in the paddock on a race weekend, approaching anyone randomly when they're at work just seems an odd thing to do.

Well no great shock that Hamilton has been announced as the 4th Cupra driver. There was one seat left and he announced weeks ago that he had signed a BTCC contract but some people are moaning on about how he is doing Dan Cammish out of a seat on social media....

[Northern_Monkey]

Interesting comments from Cammish in Inside BTCC about how he had hoped to be the future of Team Dynamics before the split came around - shame that he won’t be on the grid as sure he would have been a contender.

Also quite nice to see Plato telling Autosport that he’ll miss not being able to battle Neal on track for at least another season in 2021 as well. Despite the history, there’s clearly still mutual respect there.

There's a great interview on Youtube with that Jonny bloke from 5th gear with both of them sat down together. They do actually get on now :-)

Indeed - who’d have thought it would ever happen...

Oh dear, wonder who his replacement will be. Real big fan of him.

Henry Neal has also pulled out of the TCR UK series and had said about having something lined up for later in the year. I wonder if later in the year might now become something from the second round of the championship?

Cammish in the BTC Civic for this weekend
