BTCC 2010 Confirmed Thread

[Eurotech]

Oh, thats still 5 more entries (Giovanardi, Jordan, Neal, Turkington, Jelly) which we haven't had a chance for yet. Theres also RML to confirm entries for next season.

[BTCC Addict]

Don't forget we have Team Arena, West Surrey Racing, Team Motorbase, and RML still yet to reveal their drivers for this season. Also there's a few teams that have named one driver with the view to a second in the pipeline.

Nothing to worry about.

Plus we may even get a team who we havent even heard of on media day!
Considering the current financial situation, I think it looks very healthy!
I hope Jason Hughes appears but unlikely :-(

[Eurotech]

Does anyone know what happened to Jason Hughes? he seemed to disappear off the edge of the world like the other guy Kartworld were supposed to be running in the second half of last year....

[mattie007]

He had knee surgury at the start of the season so was always going to miss the first 2-3 rounds. Then he opened an MGRover parts garage (Xpart) so I guess all his time was taken up on that. I would rather of them said 'we wont be racing this season' than keeping us guessing!

[Eurotech]

Yeah same - I just hope they won't do a CVR on us and say "we will enter" and then never do...

I don't think we need to get quite so up tight over all this! I think we all agree that Tom's pretty likely to be on the grid in a Focus, but in the strictest of senses, there has been no official confirmation. There are certainly still some details to be confirmed re. Arena's entry this year, anyway, so I think it's fair to leave it off the list for the moment.

It does mean though, that the list might not be very long until we reach media day on 23rd March!

He did report on Facebook he'll be in the #23 Focus in the BTCC this year.

His first proper opportunity in the BTCC, and with a top team too, really happy for him.

Could this mean that WSR are set to run 3 cars? Here's hoping they manage it.

[mattie007]

Also confirms WSR are staying!
Id say that a 3 car team is very possible. Think the last time they ran 3 cars was in 2003 with MG.
