BTCC 2019 Predictions Thread

[850Estate]

Right, here we are, and we'll start with mine from last year.

2018

1) Norlin will surprise everyone with either a lot of pace, or a serious lack of it after such a good debut campaign.

2) There will be at least three permanent changes of driver this season, one of which will involve Team Hard.

3) The phrases 'best season ever' 'quality has never been higher' and 'pinnacle of UK motorsport' will all be said during the ITV coverage of the first and last rounds.

4) Dan Cammish will be in with a mathematical chance of the title at the final round, and will outscore Matt Neal come the end of the season.

5) The Subarus will win a total of one race win - and Sutton will be the man who will score it

2019, then.

850Estate's 2019 Predictions

1 - Steve Rider will say 'The quality has never been higher' during the first round this weekend.

2 - Mark Blundell will be referred to as 'Former Formula One driver, Mark Blundell' more often than Nic Hamilton is referred to as 'Brother of Formula 1 World Champion, Lewis'.

3 - Jack Goff will leave Team Hard before the end of the summer break.

4 - Five drivers currently on the entry list will not score a single Championship point.

5 - Tom Oliphant will win a race.

1)Team HARD will fail to complete the season when the revolving door gets jammed up with drivers.

2)Jason Plato will say something complementary about Matt Neal, the pair will be seen drinking together in the Kentagon after the last round of the season.

3)Tom Chilton will realise he is getting old when he passes a mirror without stopping to admire himself in it.

4)At least 1 race will have a start delayed while marshals pick up the bangles dropped by Louise Goodman.

5)Tim Harvey will try to drop an made up word in to commentary to win a bet. David Addison will fail to notice it.

Told you. Seen him race slick shod karts in the wet against my mate enough to know he is a natural in those conditions.

5. The three races at Brands Indy and the three races at Knockhill will all be interrupted by the safety car but there will not be a red flag in any of them.

Wrong already.
