Returning former champ in BTCC?
In Autosport's coverage of Autosport International I noticed the following:
Champion Andrew Jordan alludes to the very juicy gossip sweeping AUTOSPORT International 2014 when he mentions that given rumours about who might appear in the series, it could be "one of the best in history."
Motorbase is the team at the centre of this talk. AUTOSPORT understands that it has been in touch with some former champions

Re: Returning former champ in BTCC?
It's Anthony Reid isn't it? It's always Anthony Reid! On a serious note, I would assume Rydell, Thompson or Muller, but all 3 are contracted elsewhere aren't they? Who else is there in the relatively recent past?
"I" before "E" except after "C". Weird.

Thompson is at Lada, Muller at Citroen. No word on Rydell for next year yet, so possibly (I hope so!) or Menu? Gio?

Whatever the outcome of this, I'm just glad there's a bit of a buzz around the BTCC driver line-up again.

Menu or Gio are good shouts, I would have thought Gio is likely to have to most contacts still in the BTCC and is obviously the most recent ex-champ of out hastily assembled short list.

Re: Returning former champ in BTCC?
Well, if it is Menu, what a surprise. Would he be the oldest driver in the series?

Good to hear, hope he's given the machinery to challenge for title.

Re: Returning former champ in BTCC?
Only just seen this, great news. Remember being at Thruxton a few years back when he did a one off race in a Vectra. Menu is one of those drivers from my childhood and I was a big fan of the series when he was in his prime, so it's nice to see him coming back.
You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.
