Paul didn't write the story!

I'm not disputing whether the story is true or not. Personally, I think it is great news for Techspeed and their drivers. Paul O'Neill finally has a car where he can compete at the front.

All I am saying is that according to the team and the story on BTCC.Net it has not officially been confirmed..

Sorry I interpreted jumping the gun as "wrong". My mistake.

(That's not meant to sound sarcastic! Realised it might reading it back).

Michael Doyle to return...
Heard he's confident.

Could be wrong as i'm really starting to lose track but didn't GSR state they'd be running 2 cars?

Geoff Steel Racing is planning to return to the Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship in 2011 with a pair of BMWs.

The Lincolnshire team has acquired two BMWs raced in recent seasons by the Motorbase squad.

The team is currently in talks with a number of experienced drivers to fill the two seats.

---

That would make 30. The possibility of 2 more Ford's would then take us to the maximum...

Initially that seemed to be the plan but the announcement of Newsham made no reference to any other drivers to come so I've left it off for now.

All he's said is his future is looking promising or something to that effect? Read it on another forum somewhere earlier.

Yeah having re-read it, it's far less of a hint than i'd first taken it as.

I've heard that the announcement of Motorbase's 3rd driver is imminent. Could come tomorrow.
