The first 'official' test day is 12 Apr.

If you just mean going testing, some teams have already started.

I didn’t realise Rowbottom was moving to Napa, so who is in the vacant Honda seat? Neate?

He’s focusing on his son’s career now… and I’m not sure Dynamics would be keen after their last experience with him!

I'd say Matt Neal + a paying driver with loose Honda links ?

He does a bit of Autograss racing with his Dad and Grandad, but I think that's not going to be a really serious alternative to a return to the BTCC.

Proctor's Instagram stories recently did give some clues to a possible drive for 2023 in a Touring Car. BTCC 2023 return looks to me like their main focus.

Personally I'd think he has a chance of a return to what's now One Motorsport but I'd not rule out Dynamics, or perhaps even a Speedworks drive. Subaru and BTC deals were both very late on and I think his father is a hard negotiator!!!!

One Motorsport with 3 experienced drivers + a Jack Sears contender for me. I think there's better options than Jade Edwards for that serious JS campaign. She brings some positive PR and some great fan following though....

I could see that happening. Adrian Flux to replace the Cataclean money and all the increased publicity with a Matt Neal and Jason Plato link up.

He was offered a seat last season when dynamics had the 3rd tbl. But ended up handing it back to toca. Neal said to jp at knockhill don't do it don't retire. Neal officially hasn't retired yet

Not really seen much of him this year. Speedworks would be a good fit and I think he’s fairly well funded.

When did we last have a huge, well paying manufacturer in the BTCC - 2003?

Correct he did say that in an interview. He also said in another after when asked are you coming back next season. That I've got my spark back so maybe.

Problem is there actually a team backed by a manufacturer?
Or is the shell just supplied?
