Probably because they're won't be an announcement, and if there is it will be to confirm things are proceeding as planned

There will be a proper announcement from TOCA about spectators one way or the other.

Steve Neal sold the wheel business a year or so ago.

I just have an awful feeling that people may be disappointed. Shedden always seems to be first name to come up with any free Dynamics drive. We could end up with two pay drivers that will make FB, Twitter and this forum explode ��

Well after adjusting to Mr Neate again, I'm now pondering what sort of human clusterfuch could pilot an 'onda.

There are some terrible demons lurking in my head...

This probably. Tony is always looking for opportunities and doesn't sit about when he sees one.

Maybe Gary Paffett could be tempted to stop managing milkfloats and get back in a competitive race seat?! Budget, can peddle anything that isn’t a single seater...

Moneyseeker · 3 Mar 2021, 09:37 (Ref:4038174)

Bobby T confirmed on twitter that it is no BTCC for him this year as his budget has been hit by Covid.

Paffett will be back to DTM, rumours say.

As for Team Dynamics, my wild pick is Proctor and Rowbottom although I see Senna back in PMR as well. I'd be really surprised if Shedden is back. Money seems too tight to mention...

On another note do autosport get all their stories off this website? Shedden return rumours story on there now saying both neal and shedden could only say no comment when asked about this year

Wouldn't put it past them, no other website was linking Bobby T for a start, I know cos I looked.

Sodemo · 3 Mar 2021, 11:24 (Ref:4038216)

What a massive shame there will be no Cammish this year. I am fully team Turks, however a champion is only as good as his opposition and Cammish certainly made the grid and championship stronger. I also feel for Team Dynamics, I am not certain what is going on behind the scenes, but it can't be good if these are the results of it.

S griffin · 3 Mar 2021, 11:48 (Ref:4038221)

I wonder what Cammish will do now? Hopefully there will still be quality at Honda, especially against BMW with Turkington and Jelley. I wonder if Neal will be back now? It's not the end of the world. We can still have a great season, plenty of good teams and drivers to make it so up and down the grid

I was wondering that myself! Autosport tends to have highly reputable sources and articles, but the last few days seems to have been filled with the stuff we come up with on here (which is often just educated guesses at best)!

They'll be reporting the Kia rumours soon...

S griffin · 3 Mar 2021, 12:07 (Ref:4038230)

At least it's got us talking. I guess Autosport is just trying to plug the holes as best they can, but at least they have got quotes from teams and drivers to back the stories up. So no problem

And please don't start the Kia rumours again...

Maybe the Kia return is the reason Dynamics couldn't get more TBLs

Dan Cammish seems very laid back about the whole episode.
Must have got something else fixed up.
Back to Porsche to challenge Harry King or maybe Europe?

Yeah, reading that Autosport article it seems like he wants to head back into the Porsche fold.

I was sure the wheel side of the business was sold some while ago?

stuart thompson · 3 Mar 2021, 18:17 (Ref:4038405)

Speaking of Porsche’s, are they moving to the fantastic looking 992 this year or sticking with the 991’s?

PeterY · 3 Mar 2021, 18:32 (Ref:4038409)

991 stay for another year in Carrera cup GB

Alfisti · 3 Mar 2021, 22:35 (Ref:4038462)

I have heard reliably that Dan Camm has been talking about a Porsche seat. He excelled in those in a similar manner to Harry King. Be great if we had these two on the same grid.

Time for a Mick Hucknall embarking on a BTCC career rumour huh? One championship, two gingers.

Yeah defo, especially if someone does some doodles with a fat bodykit on a Ceed...

That would be something! I'm sure it's the ambition he's been holding back for the years!
