Huff staying, Watson heading back to GTs, Scott Sumpton in (IMO).

I can see Huff moving on. Don’t know where Watson will fill in. Sumpton might not be able to find a drive

Sumpton owns his Cupra so he may go alone or join another, or sell and buy a different car but I fully expect to see him on the grid. Quite a winter ahead folks, get the popcorn ready.

As someone who seems to be in the know, would you predict the full 24 TBLS being allocated or closer to this year's grid?

Or Watson to WSR? Could happen

Watson back to GTs would spanner the thought that I think everyone has had that he's heading to WSR. Equally I couldn't blame him after the season he had if he went back to GTs.

[S griffin]

Yes, Watson deserves another chance, but I wouldn't blame him if he went back to GTs

Good move to bring Media Day back up to Donny, the switch to Brands never like a right move.

It was at Donny this year, agreed that it's a better location for it though.

Do we know for sure it was Watson behind the wheel of the Speedworks Toyota out testing recently, as while it ran no.11, Watson posted a picture from abroad the same day & I’m not sure it’s his crash helmet either, but picture isn’t that clear.

Someone said Pearson had been testing with them and it did look a bit like his helmet at a glance, but I didn’t look all too closely so might be wrong.
