    Default BTCC 2012 Rumours

    Time to start this one up I think, with quite a few stories emerging for next year.

    What's confirmed....


    • Dynamics to switch to NGTC with two Honda Civics for Matt Neal & Gordon Shedden
    • Welch Motorsport to continue with their Proton, possibly with a second car
    • Thorney Motorsport to enter a pair of Vauxhall Insignia NGTCs
    • TH Motorsport to run an NGTC Skoda Octavia for Matt Hamilton
    • Triple Eight building and running an as yet unspecified NGTC spec car next season
    • Eurotech Racing returning with Andy Jordan in yet another unspecified NGTC car.
    • The only non-NGTC entry to be announced so far, Special Tuning Racing intend to continue running a two car SEAT Leon team next season, with the possibility of also running a single car WTCC entry.

    What's highly likely....


    • Rob Austin Racing continuing with the Audis for next season, possibly with a third car.
    • Dynojet returning with the Avensis for Wrathall, possibly with some Toyota backing, and the team are aiming to run a second car next season.
    • WSR switching to a, as yet, unnamed NGTC package.
    • I believe Motorbase aren't quite as tied to the S2000 Focus as it might seem. The money to buy them came from Griffin and things appear to be slightly uncertain as to what he and the team will be doing next season. They'll be on the grid one way or another though.
    • RML are set to develop an NGTC Cruze for next season.
    • Techspeed have stated they hope to have NGTC engines in their Cruze next season.
    • Geoff Steel Racing is hoping to run a pair of turbo-charged BMW 320si's next season.

    Who might be leaving....


    • Arena have talked about switching to the WTCC for next season, although this has gone slightly cold of late. They seem unwilling to do so without Ford backing, which hasn't been forthcoming yet. Have stated they are opposed to NGTC cars.
    2nd place in the big quizz challenge!

    Plus whoever wins the Ginetta GT Supercup will get a full season drive in an NGTC-spec car.

    Hmm, that seems a strange one. From a RWD GT-lite car, into a brick of a FWD Touring car.....surely you'd want to progress into GT/Sportscar racing, not crash-bang-wallop tin tops??

    I'm guessing they'll drive the second Dynojet car when the winner is crowned. Just out of interest what happened to Tony Hughes and are Speedworks planning to return next year?
    Please ignore ALL of the above....

    Chris James in the e-magazine Inside BTCC saying he wants to be back in the BTCC 2012 but not in the Chevrolet Lacetti, he wants to switch to an S2000 with a turbo engine or an NGTC-spec car.

    Running an MG NGTC as well I believe.. will be interesting! There was talk that they'd put it back to 2013, but that ad suggests otherwise!

    It's a shame his proposed BTCC drive for this year never happened.

    it would be great to see him back, he will be a major asset to any team he drives for.

    Sounds like it's a precursor for a works effort rather

    No disrespect intended to those involved, but it couldn't be further from looking like a works entry!

    Perhaps, therefore, it's time for a confirmed thread! Traditionally that's Alfa Fan's job too, I'll let him do the honours.
