For anyone that has GTR 2. The supertouring mod has just been updated to version 4 which means you basically have every supertouring season in the UK and a few European series aswell. Tracks are included. I have it and it's amazing!

Belcher is unlikely to see out the season - http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/119635

Not surprised if I am being honest. Robb Holland is being touted

Max Coates is in at Paras Racing.

Pretty cool, I've raced against him a few times in the BUKC and he lives just up the road - maybe I can get some tbk stickers on the car ;) Looking forward to seeing him trundling around at the back!

Yes, to any endeavor Palmer is involved with (Sr or Jr for that matter).

I know the tender is a legal process that is required to happen, but I live in the hope that common sense will prevail and only TOCA / Gow are truly in the running to manage the series.

To be fair they have done a pretty good job with BSB.

True, although I'd put that more down to Stuart Higgs control and directorship than anything else.

Yes, I think they have the highest trackside spectator numbers of any championship in Britain. On the other hand, they also have a NASCAR Chase-esque points system and I don't want there to be any possibility of such a system being introduced to the BTCC.

TOCA needs to stay in control.

In other tendering news, five companies have thrown their names into the hat to provide the TOCA engine and there is a tender process underway to determine the suppliers of the other spec-components.

It would be very surprising if TOCA did not get the rights back. Palmer has already shown that he cannot run a Touring car series, so why would you give him the BTCC.

Which touring car series was Palmer running previously? BSB aside, if we're going to look at Palmer's attempts to run a high profile category then look no further than F2 which folded after only 4 years.

T1 or something. It was supposed to be a rival to the BTCC but failed. Around 2001 I think.

I seem to remember a Ford Mondeo was created and tested.

edit: found a web article.

Yes I agree with all the sentiments above, especially the bit about the BSB chase, I hate playing devils advocate sometimes :lol:

WSR have also said they will replace him. Who could be the driver?

No word yet, but it could be another young gun. When I hear a whisper I'll let you know.
