Aiden Moffat switches to the HARD Passat for the last 2 rounds

so goodbye S2000 Cruze

Biscuits In A Red Bull · 19 Sep 2013, 14:32 (Ref:3306207)

Will Chris Stockton be there?

Craner Curves · 19 Sep 2013, 15:00 (Ref:3306220)

Doubt it. They were saying at the start of the month that it was another 2-3 weeks for the gearbox to arrive.

I can't see AG standing for this next year, I can see limited driver changes being introduced.

If there is chance a NGTC car is left on the sidelines , they would rather allow any old pedlar in , there isnt any other series in the country that would have a class for NGTC !

I do like the misconception that team Hard are givin chance to Youngsters , its the size of the budget thats allowing it

Lol, cos people like Kieran Gallagher are youngsters

RED55 · 19 Sep 2013, 19:14 (Ref:3306323)

I should have wrote new Talent,, its obvious its about getting the car out for the rest of the season, which is fair enough , but it certainly looks like a team in trouble, not to have planned from the start to finish the season, there is History in there for the key figure of the team if you look back through his racing career, hes always run out before seasons end .

But its a cash strapped enviroment so he has achieved a lot I suppose

That's ancient in racing terms nowadays.

Almost ready to hang up your helmet by that time..

9 drivers for HARD this year , makes GA Motorsport previous record of 7 during a season to utter shame

Interesting, amusing tweet went out from a journo yesterday that may tickle your fancies, that I think is slightly relevant...

"It's a mathematical certainty that everyone with a racing licence will have driven for Team HARD by the end of 2016 #BTCC"

..well it amused me anyway

Base boost is a bit of a pity, Silverstone is very much a power circuit.

It's a bit rubbish when it's to stop any ringers coming in and interfering, but prevents someone new getting the chance to show off their potential. Having said that, Mike Bushell did well with it at Knockhill. Totally different style of track though.

Craner Curves · 20 Sep 2013, 10:54 (Ref:3306543)

I'm sure he will be on base still. As it's applied to him for swapping cars.

Not technically correct CC!

TOC was on a LOWER boost than everyone else!

The lower boost is for a new entry, the CAR, not the driver!

Ironically Andy Wilmot, who drove TOC's Passat had normal boost!!!

you know if AMD will be absent again

wonder if Welsh will search for a replacement (pay) driver for Dan

I heard the 'ancient' Kieran Gallagher was free

BtccLee · 23 Sep 2013, 07:41 (Ref:3307996)

This was somthing I suggested on Twitter and, I believe, makes sense. The Porsche Carrera Cup will join with the GT3 Cup grid at SIlverstone according the BTCC.net timetable

Thanks for that.

It's all a bit of an unknown to the general public. I was just going by the fact that James Kaye and Warren Scott had to do a couple of events with base boost due to them swapping cars.

Biscuits In A Red Bull · 20 Sep 2013, 12:24 (Ref:3306578)

TOC will run on base boost until the finale. Seeing as Caine was the other driver...

porsche962fan · 20 Sep 2013, 15:10 (Ref:3306627)

with Silverstone being all about boost and least important driver skill and chassis I think we can really see the likes of Welsh, HARD , Speedworks for a podium perhaps

we all remember what a farce it was last year

Suspect Honda are busy fitting large, taxi style mirrors as we speak..

RAR and Airbase (Smith and Jackson anyway) will be on the pace too I suspect.
