My point/query was - If BMR/Laser were able to take an existing model on the grid that had been around a few years, and turn it into a title-winning car - why could a team not do the same with the VW CC (as a model not the actual chassis')? |

I personally will find it a huge shame to not have Matt Neal on the grid. 30 years is something to be very proud of in btcc and the majority of that driving for his family team. Hopefully if he does retire they make a slight fuss over it because bowing out so quietly doesn't seem right |

Cammish and Shedden would have been a great pearing
I guess Cammish had a few sponsorship problems. Shedden has a lot of sponsors and don’t forget he has the experience and championships which has to make getting backing easier. |

BTCC fans are an odd bunch. So many posts on social media moaning about Shedden getting a drive when he's already had a go. The guy is a multiple champion that the team know extremely well. Why on earth wouldn't they sign him?

I find it odd that TOCA haven't reported the return of Sheddon. I mean, it's not as though it's just a rumour; Matt Neal has confirmed it in an Autosport article on their website.

Good to see flash back, he will be up the sharp end hopefully.

Because they think of it as entertainment before business, not the other way round.

My apologies. I was logging directly on to the News page which has yet to be updated. I've now reset it to the Home page.

Hopefully Sheddon will pick up a few wins at Donnington.

Well he should be strong from the word go. Very surprised if he's not a title contender this year

This is six of one and half a dozen of the other as in it's great to have Flash back but a bummer to lose Cammish. Rowbottom for the 2nd seat methinks....

Matt Neal
Just thinking out loud here but if Matt Neal doesn't actually drive this year, what are the chances of TOCA offering him the job of Driving Standards Steward?
That'd be an epic case of poacher turned gamekeeper! |

Pretty small chance because they’ve already hired James Cole

So does Shedden bring in sponsorship that Cammish doesn't? Just trying to get my head around this decision at Team Dynamics.
