According to Crash.net (yeah, on second thoughts maybe stop reading now) Ian Harrison is likely to announce that 888 Racing will be running a manufacturer team in 2011 before the end of 2010.

Frank Wrathall seems pretty certain that he'll be in the series next year:

James Kaye?

He's stated that he's in for the long haul and that he (and Barwell?) wants to build an NGTC car which I assume will more than likely be a Honda.

Well any manufacturer looking to come in really should go for them.

Thought I would put this here too. This is what the NGTC car looks like:

Me like a lot.

On a further note, Honda have increased their funding substantially in team dynamics, so we could see a three car team from them next year.

Looks tasty.

And awesome news about the possibility of 3 cars for Dynamics. Maybe a return for Herbert? Or, Thommo *prays*

Well, it seems that Honda only supported Dynamics with a decent but not good budget. Next year, it seems that they are putting a lot more money and resources into next year for development etc. It's also good for the long term future of Honda in the BTCC because they are showing commitment to the NGTC rules as they are going NGTC engines etc next year. It would seem Honda is in the BTCC for at least another 2 years or so in my estimation, which can only be good news.

I'd like to see O'Neill in a works car. Just think what he could achieve.

Indeed, he's dragged that Integra so much higher than it should be this season.

I thought I would like the NGTC but I don't. Maybe I'll get used to it when more models are unveiled.

When I first looked at it, only the Toyota badge stopped me thinking it was a Vectra

Yeah, the drawings look better than the actual car, but then Toyotas aren't very exciting looking cars are they?

ITV will be covering the series in HD for at least another 3 years:

I'd like to see TOC back in a Beamer, perhaps Motorbase. Him and Kane would be a good partnership
