2022: BTCC and support series

[Milkyway]

Cheers... Will have to revisit the BTCC news database & have a tidy up.
Will try & match TBL’s to the correct teams so that it all adds up.

I think between us & all the other PH fans... we will know before they do.

NB: Is Boardley driving... heard rumour that he was stepping away to just be Team Manager.
And of course, Matt Neal throwing out that teaser regarding a return.... personally, I won’t be surprised if Henry fills that seat.

Cheers for that.... very much another ‘watch this space’ scenarios.

Jack Mitchell is not on the list and I met him at a Team Hard day. He was there to test the Infinity and very much wanted to be part of the BTCC grid next year - sponsorship dependant.

Cheers... I will put him in ‘the pot’.

( Or at least...the proposed support series)

Heard that Chilton may well be alongside Tingram and Smiley at Excelr8. That would certainly strengthen the team.

Ooooh... Good call,

Article in Autosport linking Ricky Collard to a possible Infiniti drive and Crees is confirmed to be one of the drivers they are interested in as well. Crees also linked with the 2nd BMW at Cicely.

Hearing Crees most likely to be at PMR out of his 4 options.

I seem to have lost MC’s 4th option... was it WSR?

Crees options I believe were/are Ciceley, HARD, Laser Tools and PMR.

Thanks... lost track there for a while

No worries, it’s hard to keep track as it all seems to change by the day recently ?? Heard in minute Crees was Ciceley bound then within 24h PMR! Certainly keeping us interested in the off season.

Helps with the Winter blues.

[Milkyway]

So far... so good.

Hearing that Jac Constable is one of the PMR drivers, so could we see a Crees/Constable line-up?

Thanks for the info.... updated.

I’d remove Parf from the list, believe he’s heading back to GT’s. Chilton at Excelr8 alongside Tingram, expect Smiley there too. Back along there were rumblings of Hamilton or Dan Kirby in the 4th seat.

Jelley all set to stay at WSR alongside Turks. His website article on John ‘Boy’ Walton pretty much confirms that.

Wow... a lot to take in there.
for the info.

[Milkyway]

Now that Jason & Matt are ‘mates’...perhaps they will finally team up for their swan song

Gordon sounding strong to remain at Dynamics.

I don't get why so many people seem to be making a fuss about where he ends up.

It's the theme of this thread I think you'll find, drivers, teams, etc, etc.

It’s the usual silly off season & the merry go round... So even if Mickey Mouse & Donald Duck were mentioned, I wouldn’t batter an eyelid.
Just enough to keep us entertained...

May the church bells ring out - at last a BTCC car with a decent paintjob . Every time I go to see BTCC - every 2 or 3 years - I am struck by the visually incoherent , dogs dinner liveries of most of the grid. Still , designing them must be a nice little side-line for Stevie Wonder .

The laser tools livery and the toyota gazoo racing livery are definitely exceptions, right?

I suppose that some of the teams main sponsors may limit their colour choice.... to NAPA.

Chilton just confirmed at execerl8. No surprise there really.

Cheers for that... almost half way mark for conformation now.

is it me or does it look increasingly likely that Plato isn't getting a ride this year?

If it's true he doesn't pay then I guess he will only get a ride that's essentially been funded by over charging the other drivers. If they are struggling to get the increased required cash, does that mean Plato is staying at home.

I think that Mr P is usually late to the party with his announcement... maybe nearer the season launch @ Thruxton.
