2024: BTCC chat & discussion

[Milkyway]

I’m not expecting any movements from the front runners.
But, I’m hoping that the Speedworks / Team Gazoo Toyota is for Rob Huff.
( Hopefully he can finally fulfil his ambition).

The new qualifying format looks interesting & has the potential to throw a few spanners into the works too.

I'm interested to see who the third driver will be at WSR/Team BMW.

So you're hinting that you know that either Morgan or Jelley isn't continuing with WSR.

Spooky... for no real reason, Jelly crossed my mind.
(Then somebody mentioned ‘Turks’ retiring).

It's common knowledge that Jelley is not continuing!

Wonder if he’ll stay in the BTCC... WSR & fours drivers lined up for his seat.
( Can I mention ‘Huff’) :

Adam Smalley not competing in the Porsche’s next year.
( Maybe BTCC...if we are lucky)

Pretty significant changes with Toyota if what I’m hearing is correct, wouldn’t have seen any of them coming really.

What are the Team Hard rumours?

That they've gone/going bust.

tbh they were all about selling the hospo side of things, and gve alot of drivers cheap deals on the back of this, shame if they go, as not all drivers can afford half a million a year

Tongue in cheek aside;
- zero drivers carry over
- you get what seems to be your dream (Which I think will be an underwhelming performance personally vs. the godlike status some attach to the chap
- 2+2 branding/livery split

"Shame if they go"...?

Even with your "explanation", it's still incomprehensible.

The irony of you, Lord of “I know something you don’t know” giving this feedback, is truly immense.

If you’re as connected as you want everyone to believe, it should be very understandable.

What bit is sticky?

Zero drivers carried over
Milky gets his Huffy
4 cars run as 2+2

i think what he is saying, is that last years driver's are not continuing ( at least with this team/car) Rob Huff is one of the drivers, and they will be running 4 cars, but likely two sides of the garage or maybe two main sponsors/

Finance company that took control of the Cupras now selling at least two of the four remaining (assuming Restart only bought two) as stripped out shells. Presumably all the standard parts have been sold to other BTCC teams.

Restart have 2, seem to remember Boardley reportedly also owned one.

Looks like that’s the other 3 shells.
