BTCC 2010 Rumours

Both Lea Wood and Martin Johnson have been out testing their cars according to BTCC.net, they even have pictures of the Honda Integra and Vauxhall Astra coupé in action.

Come on then...not long to go now. Assuming we've got announcements to come from RML and Motorbase, who do you hope/expect to see in the cars?

Hope to see (being realistic)

Motorbase: Ben Collins and Steven Kane
RML: Jason Plato and Matt Jackson
Arena: Tom Onslow-Cole
Dynamics: Matt Neal and Johnny Herbert
Special Tuning: Gordon Shedden
Boulevard: Martin Johnson

And hopefully about 25 cars on the grid.

I expect the 2 Motorbase cars to turn up and I expect RML will run 2 as well but seemingly without Plato (albeit the source was only tisme). I suspect Arena will run 2 cars, but that Dynamics may be down to 1 for Neal despite the increased relationship with Honda. Would like Shedden to be Boardman's teammate at SEAT but who knows. Johnson has been out testing his Astra so hopefully we'll see him back, and there's a number of other drivers still potential entrants (Hamilton, Kizilirmak, Leason, Blencowe)

Realistic??? Your getting desperate when you are taking the guess of Tisme as a 'source'!
Some intersting names you have there. Some look right, some totally not and some you've missed.

Quite amusing the names that are coming out.

Not long until the 23rd.

Well as long as the names Jason Plato, Matt Neal, Mat Jackson, Colin Turkington, Adam Jones and Gordon Shedden fit in there somewhere I'll be happy.

Looks like Tisme was NEARLY right!

It was well known that Volvo had first call on Plato's services though in the unlikely event they entered. Hopefully we'll get the RML announcement tomorrow, will be interesting to see who his teammate is!

Shame that Volvo could not get the package together to compete this year. Hopefully they will do it one year.
