Grant is the boss of Northern South (did I get that the right way round?) - they are the in-house team that run the Seat UK operation.

Joint Team Principal I think?

Thanks for clearing that up.

Yes! It's been not like that since the ice ages!
Let me know if there's any change.

Interesting update on BTC Racings website.

Confirms Chris Stockton in the #43 Lexus IS200 and also states that the team will announce the driver of the #42 in early March.

One car (Stocktons) will be at the test day, and I guess both will start the season at Brands.

I'm pleased to be able to say that Fiona Leggate should be able to confirm her plans shortly. If everything goes according to plan she will be racing in the btcc this season. I can't say anything else until the plans are announced.

2nd GSR BMW

Well there are a few seats open at this stage, BTC Racing, Tech-speed, Encke Sport, etc. but will be good to have Fiona Leggate back in the championship whatever she ends up driving.

Any chance Tech-speed can run the Astra Coupe alongside the Sport Hatch(es)
