But more importantly, who will the drivers be? If rumours are true about the join with Aiden Moffat racing, it would be good to see Moffat in a Civic alongside Cook, while Gamble and Proctor would also be good drivers to add to the team. Jack Goff has also been rumoured although I think this is unlikely, and I would love for Jason Plato to stay for another year. I also wonder if Plato might race for Team Dynamics in place of Rowbottom if he moves to Toyota as has been rumoured. Could that also be the place for Mat Jackson's long-awaited return?
Really hope to see Gamble either in one of the Civics or at Speedworks. IMO would be quite a loss for the championship if he didn't return after such a good rookie year. As far as I'm concerned BTCC needs to have some young, up-and-coming drivers who can become Platos, Neals, Turkingtons or Suttons of the future. After a really solid debut season Gamble could, potentially, become such a driver.

Hopefully the BTC drivers will all be capable of running at the front where Cook showed they could be.

Interesting indeed. It could be a Valentines Day post or a very clever tease

Couple of theories:
Dan Zelos has been reserve/test driver- might be time for the step up?

Could also be:
Aron Taylor Smith
Senna proctor
Rory Butcher
George Gamble
