A shame Dan could be out in the cold, but otherwise some promising deals emerging.

Unless they want to take a gamble and have an occassional guest driver or if at the end of the season, the championship hasn't been decided, they may start bringing in drivers and using that 3rd veh?

That's an unusually good thing to hear!

Usually, it seems teams want an arm and a leg for their used cars. Sometimes, it seems like they wanna recover their last year's budget through selling the car?

Perhaps they're still hoping for that indecent proposal to appear!

Team Dynamics have been testing with Colin Turkington and FRenault driver Stuart Hall.

Mike Jordan in his Honda Integra Type-R and Fiona Leggate in her Bio-Ethanol powered Vauxhall Astra were also testing today at Donington in the lovely bright sunshine !!

I had heard about this one earlier in the week, I still think that he will end up at WSR.

Draven · 10 Feb 2006, 17:05 (Ref:1519783)

Does it lok likley to all of you that Dan Eves and Luke Hynes will be fighting for the same seats. So I'm guessing that one or other wont make the grid this year.

widerviewphoto · 10 Feb 2006, 17:14 (Ref:1519788)

With WSR quoted as having a shortlist of 6 for their 2/3 seats the merrygoround looks like it will throw off a few good drivers.

To Dan & Luke you can add James Pickford and possibly Rob Collard who will be left without a competitive drive this year.

sharpy · 10 Feb 2006, 18:01 (Ref:1519822)

I would like to see WSR keep Collard and take back Turkington. No disrespect to the others mentioned but both Collard and Turkington have had experience with the MG.

It will be a shame for Dan Eaves if he doesn't get a drive with someone, he did have a good season last year.

Alfa Fan · 10 Feb 2006, 18:03 (Ref:1519825)

Collard would not be a good choice IMO.

rdjones · 10 Feb 2006, 19:22 (Ref:1519869)

Why, he did a very good job last year and remember he took 2 race victories aswell.

**touringlegend** · 10 Feb 2006, 19:36 (Ref:1519875)

I assume if Dan Eaves had the money he'd still be at Team Dynamics, so if WSR are looking for money (I don't know if they are) you'd assume he'd be out of the question too.

Alfa Fan · 10 Feb 2006, 19:46 (Ref:1519880)

I doubt they are for the first two cars.

Coops · 11 Feb 2006, 10:55 (Ref:1520224)

Team Dynamics have been testing with Stuart Hall. Is it likly that he will get a seat with then next season?

money talks louder than results

Alfa Fan · 11 Feb 2006, 13:16 (Ref:1520317)

So we should expect Stuart Hall to be announced as TDs third driver?

Marsh Set For Return In Team Griffin Peugeot

What if TD only run 2 cars? I wouldn't expect them to gamble on running a BTCC-rookie as Neal's only team-mate.

Also, with Marsh's involvement, we now have 19 cars confirmed (with some drivers still TBA). And that's without counting Synchro, DW, Xero and a 3rd WSR MG!

**Craig** · 16 Feb 2006, 16:54 (Ref:1524439)

Bugger. I saw Marsh and thought Spence...

Jamie or Russell?

andy_b · 16 Feb 2006, 20:36 (Ref:1524563)

Spencer Marsh I reckon, thats who I first thought, wonder what he's upto now.

ATF · 17 Feb 2006, 12:56 (Ref:1525010)

Ah yes, Spencer Marsh - used to run in the (legendary) Anadin-liveried Honda Accord, was it 2002? He was quite handy as I remember, finished well in the BTC-P championship.

And also, whatever happened to Beacon Motorsport, they were meant to re-enter BTCC in the top class, like so many teams say...

**Craig** · 17 Feb 2006, 15:08 (Ref:1525116)

Legendary?! :S

Spencer did just the one season in BTC-P after a decent couple (?) of years in the old Lotus series. Chris Boon ran a pretty good little team in Beacon and it was a shame he shut up shop after just the one season.

andy_b · 17 Feb 2006, 16:33 (Ref:1525171)

Chris managed Spencer in the first season of SEAT's, then the money dried up and that was that.
