He'll get a win before the season is out and it will boost his morale. No worries.

There are others, more experienced - Sonic! - who are also not managing tyres well enough though, so he isn't alone. Both these two will get it together and win before end of year I reckon. |

Speaking of winners, I make it 19 BTCC race winners out of the 31 at Rockingham.
Will be at least 20 by Silverstone if Rob Collard is back. Pretty impressive! |

I think once Cammish figures the tyres and FWD racing out, he'll rack up quite a few wins. It's just a case of getting that first one. |

Having lots of different winners shouldn't be proclaimed as if it's something amazing; it's the series doing exactly what the series is set out to do. |

Can I put an early vote in for Jordan at Dynamics next year. Jordan's have signed Pirtek as sponsor in the BTCC but not tied to a team and by now after a season and a half, they might reckon that AJ is not going to beat Turkington in a WSR BMW over a season and cast their eye elsewhere. The Jordan's got on well with Dynamics when they ran customer Civics and Andy really gelled with that car. I know it is a different beast now, but I think it could be a possibility.

Jordan's issue is his sponsor's requirement to run in full Pirtek livery.
If he went to Dyamics it would mean either 1x Honda/Halfords and 1x Pirtek, or 2x Honda/Halfords and 1x Pirtek as a third entry. I can't see either of those being likely. |

well it beats the problem most drivers have, the lack of a potent sponsor...

The Civic FK8 would look every bit as wicked livery-wise though...

What though if AJ bought a TBL, say from TG; acquired a motor car/ had one built; and got that nice Mr Smith to run it.
That would work. |

"He raced alongside Speedworks Motorsport in his maiden BTCC season in 2016 before allying himself with Team Dynamics for the '17 campaign, and owns the TOCA BTCC Licence (TBL) for his entry." which implies HE owns his TBL not Simpson Racing and gets it aligned to teams |
