Also I thought Chris Stockton had been confirmed by BT96? I could be wrong though.

There is so much I need to know about the new guys.
I know from touringcartimes.com Simon Blackley was big in Euro Saloons having taken what much be an ancient-in-motorsport-years 9yr old ex-David Leslie Accord to the title last season but other than that I am ashamed to admit nothing. How good is this Blackley and also of course let me not forget Matt Allison who I know from the same site is the reigning GTC Champion and 2005 Clio Cup Winter Series champ?
Simon Blankley is a bit of an unknown quantity at this level, but is a proven club level racer and has a decent car and experianced outfit running it in Graham Hathaway.
he might not have the pace of a Pinkney or Jordan, but perhaps should be mixing it with Marsh, Bell, Lexus's etc, i certainly don't think he will disgrace himself
Mat Allison is a very god young driver, proven in Clios and last year won the GTC champ, should prove to be on a similar pace to Howell in the Toledo i'd expect, might take a little longer to get up to speed but i would think he could be pretty competitive
People are still guessing that their car is to be a BMW!?Quote:

Alfa Romeo then could be a possiblity. You would think it would be an S2000 car as there's no point developing a new BTC-Touring spec engine.
