Andrew Jordan will race for VX next season not Team Eurotech

Fantastic news for Andrew but gutted for Tom though, would have rather have seem Matt dumped!
Excellent for Andrew Jordan to secure such a prize drive, I hope he makes a most of this fantastic opportunity.
A real shame for Tom Onslow-Cole not to get the drive, he had a good season in 2008 and I hope he finds a berth in another team for the coming year.
It also appears that we've lost Team Eurotech from the grid :(

So 11 fully confirmed entries so far.
Good news about RAC.
I really want Colin Turkington to win the championship this season, figners crossed. Stephen Jelley showed some promise in 2008 and is probably worth another go but he needs to show a big improvement.
Just leaves Team Dynamics as the last of the big three teams to announce their driver line-up.
And hopefully TD will announce 2 cars taking the grid to 13 cars, not bad for this time of year. We probably not see a grid the size of 26 this year, a few surprises at Media Day could take it to 15 cars which isn't bad.
The economic climate seems to have cut the wheat from the chaff where the better drivers are staying and towards the back have lost their funding - with the exception of SEAT of course!
I'd say a grid of 22-26 isn't at all unrealistic for this season still. There's quite a few teams waiting to be added to that list in due course.
Up until now!Quote:
