25 so far, and still media day to come, looking great
According to the tabulated rumours and speculation list on Wikipedia the source for the "confirmation" of Jason's entry again with Kartworld but switching to an Integra DC05 is a Motorsport News article back in January but I went to the Motorsport News website and I cannot find it anywhere.Quote:

For the BTCC?
Yes
And because Marsh is driving in BGT, it doesnt mean he cant do BTCC
Richard Marsh will NOT be driving in the 2008 BTCC!Quote:

Martyn's BMW is a 320is! The 320si is a new E90 model!Quote:

As you say, it could be someone changing things on Wikipedia.. let's face it, if someone wanted to play around, why not pick on a driver that now one really notices????
Having said that the last unexplained Wikipedia edit turned out to be spot on...
:) Cant we keep the rumours to the rumour thread?
320i actually. ;)Quote:

Have a look at the second driver number #26.
I personally didn’t see this happening and would have thought he would have stayed in the same team as last season.
I wonder if it will be in motorsport news tomorrow or autosport on Thursday.
Im not too surprised by this. Matt deserved a good drive, and hopefully he can do the business in the "Reasonably Priced Car".
Good luck to him.
Now that is interesting, Matt Allison in a Chevy. Hope he does well. Hope the official announcement is soon.
I would think that IS the official announcement
You know what, you're right :D . Silly me.Quote:

Wow, two surprise announcements. Re Norwich local boy Matt Allison - Motorbase Performance still haven't announced their drivers yet, interesting who replaces him and who they get as their number 2 driver. Also interesting know why Allison wasn't retained as he had quite a good season but was plagued by bad luck.
Stephen Jelley joining Team RAC - now that did come out of the blue! Quite a career change for him to switch to touring cars, especially at such a high level. Does this mean he's given up on his single seater career?
