Andy neate leaves triple 8
Seen this on Facebook.
andy neate has left mg. leaving a place open for a new driver at mg, or possibily 2 new drivers. It has been said that mg might run 3 cars next year.
it will be sad to see him go, but i think mg will be glad they don't have to take a spare truck to each race meet just to repair his car.
I would like to see Paul o'neil or another proven race driver help MG compete with Honda.

Maybe the loss of points out weighs the funding? Neate was extreamly poor last year (again!) so I doubt the team are that bothered! I do know that a few of the other drivers will be extreamly dissapointed to read that he wants to stay in the championship!
I dont think it will be O'neil as Speedworks are looking for another driver to go along side him. Newsham and Lea Wood are testing for them tomorrow.My motorsport pics here on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/allyc85/sets/

Lets be honest Neate was shocking all year, in a car that was challenging for the title. Where did he finnish? Glad he's gone, let shope MG get a good racer in the car to support Plato or challenge Plato for the title.
Indy cars says bye to Sky. Yeah baby.......

That someone of Turkington's talent has sat on the sofa for most of this year is a sad indication of how poor the BTCC has become. If MG can run three cars get Turks in one and a pay driver in the other...two strong drivers will help them take the fight to Honda.
