2022: BTCC and support series

[Milkyway]

Matts car is a long way from home... Dominican Republic.
( £80K, & plenty of spares included...bargain).

In the right hands, it would probably give the Infiniti a run for its money.

They've also got Matt Neal's 2011 championship winning Honda Civic Type R on there for sale. The advert says it's normally aspirated but I thought the Civics were turbo charged that year? I'm sure I remember Plato complaining about them being like rocket ships on the straights?

It was the LPG powered Fords that had turbos (and flexible windscreens) back then, I think.

Rumour Mill;
My big brother has heard that Ricky Collard is emigrating to Australia... seems that he may be walking away from Motorsport entirely.

Yes it was on Autosport a couple of weeks ago, he has family over there. Link to the article:

Also interestingto hear that BTC racing might move away from the Civic and look to use a marque not currently in the series but doesn't say which ones. They want more control over the engine used and want to bring it in house.

I hope there is more to add than Legends. I've never been into them for some reason.

Early Driver announcement for 2023;
I take it that Tom Chilton has lost his seat next to Tingram then
I wonder if he will drop into the Trade price cars side.

not according to the press quote. He states that both Tom's are going to be there to learn from.

Great... Only one round at Thruxton, two at Donington & the different support series... 2023 is looking good already.
