So upto 21 of the 32 entries confirmed so far.

Additionally:

Dan Welch Welch Motorsport Proton Gen-2

Oliver Jackson Welch Motorsport Proton Gen-2

Have both been formally announced but for whatever reason there is not a news story on the BTCC.net page. Possibly because it happened whilst the site was down for renovation.

So only 6 left to be announced, 3 of whom are likely to be WSR & 2 Speedworks.

[BDunnell]

I think you've mis-counted; Jordan is listed twice in the first post. This makes two 'unknowns'. Chris Stockton could be one, Chris James the other? Both have a TBL.

[DazzlaF1]

First its Alain Menu, now its the return of Giovanardi, all I can say is WOW

[BDunnell]

Absolutely the best BTCC entry for years. What a change from some recent seasons. To me, it's a more appealing, interesting driver line-up than the WTCC currently boasts.

[christophulus]

This could be a brilliant year. I just hope Giovanardi and Menu get some competitive cars, would hate to see them plodding around at the back.

More of a risk with Menu than Giovanardi, I'd say. Even so, they can always turn the boost up.

30 entries officially confirmed according to btcc.net

Additionally:

Dan Welch Welch Motorsport Proton Gen-2

Oli Jackson Welch Motorsport Proton Gen-2

Announced entry on the BTCC stand at the Autosport International, but either due to the maintenance to the BTCC site or other reasons, has not been formally announced on the btcc.net website as of yet.

So Lea Wood solves the mystery of the 32nd entry. Article confirms it is NOT the second Speedworks car, and is in fact a new build. Whether Speedworks will still run a second car themselves (3 in total with Belcher), as previously announced, is unknown.

Thanks Minardi. Gives me some stuff to research through.

Cheers :)

At this point you might as well wait for the TOCA list which will be out any minute.

[minardi]

Had a couple of numbers wrong from TCT, but this seems to confirm it with correct numbers.
