Martyn Bell is fully confirmed. Was in Motorsport News sometime over Christmas. Also check out the website, its been recently updated with all the information about the coming season. The only reason there has been no official press release from Martyn or GSR is because they are waiting to confirm the full sponsorship line-up, but they will be there! :)

Mark Jones was confirmed in Motorsport News last week. Xero Competition have been working on upgrading the Lexus and will enter Mark in one of the cars.

Mark Smiths car was on show at Autosport with new Jessops sponsorship, so, there again, I think we can take it that he will be out again in 2007, even if there's yet to be a press release.

When I spoke to Mark at the show, he said to me (and other people have said they were told the same) that the jessops deal would not be enough to get him on the grid! He needs to find more money!

So as much as I would love to see Mark out in his Alfa, even he is not sure of being there! At the moment I don't think we can't treat him as confirmed...

Put it this way, you're confirmed if you are on the entry list. You're not if you are not on the list. I expect there are at least five entries waiting for a press release but still confirmed to enter.

They're not officially confirmed yet. We're just waiting for the official announcements from quite a few drivers like Richard Marsh and Dave Pinkney.

The term used in MN's article was "intention"

There may be surprises and changes before media day!

OK - here's a list of the entries categorically confirmed

#1 Matt Neal Team Dynamics Honda Civic S2000
#2 Jason Plato Northern South SEAT Leon
#3 Colin Turkington West Surrey Racing BMW 320is E90
#4 Gordon Shedden Team Dynamics Honda Civic S2000
#5 Fabrizio Giovanardi Triple Eight Vauxhall Vectra VXR
#7 Tom Chilton Triple Eight Vauxhall Vectra VXR
#10 Mike Jordan Team Eurotech Honda Integra DC05
#15 Martyn Bell Geoff Steel Racing BMW 320i E46
#17 John George TH Motorsport Honda Integra DC05
#19 Nick Leason Daniels Motorsport Vauxhall Astra Coupe
#24 Darren Turner Northern South SEAT Leon
#25 Gareth Howell Motorbase Performance SEAT Toledo Cupra
#33 Tom Onslow-Cole West Surrey Racing BMW 320is E90
#43 Chris Stockton BTC Racing Lexus IS200

Some of the numbers are guesses.

Just for your info... Turner will NOT be #24. Someone else has that!

I'm sure I saw some pics of the SEAT at Autosport show with #11 and #12 on (I wasn't there) or was I dreaming?! Maybe they will use them?

Isn't this thread meant to be for CONFIRMED entries, NOT rumours?! How can you say Leason and Stockton are confirmed? To be fair, I expect they will race, but it's not 100% yet is it?

Chris Stockton's entry was confirmed on this very forum by Bert Taylor several months ago.

Nick Leason was confirmed on crash.net several weeks ago, but the sites running so slow I can't find the link.
