All the entries I have listed have substancial media reports behind them. All apart from;
Michael Wilson GBR Butler Motorsport BMW 320i E46 Possible The source of this was over at BTCCPages.com, and was posted as a rumour of which I have heard nothing since. Thus its rated as a possiblity, no more, no less. + Quote: Michael Wilson GBR Butler Motorsport BMW 320i E46 Possible Forum rumour. Seen in several places though. Posted in several places because there are guilible people who read several forums and take these stories as gospel and re-post them elsewhere. I expect a large part of this list will turn up on other forums soon. Well I can actualy tell you guys I have been very busy for the last 7 months. It looked pretty certain that I would be doing the full season but I am saddened to say from news I have just recieved I won't be on the grid for the beginning of the year. There is a good probablity that I may appear this year otherwise I will be working on 2007 when S2000 comes into full effect. See you around the circuits. Michael. |

Good luck with that Michael.
I see from xpowerforums, that Anthony Reid has been offered a WSR drive this year, but also has to weigh it up against a works Honda drive in Argentina. |

The story was also in today's motorsport news along with news that Gordon Sheddon has tested for Team Dymanics.

The Shedden deal has basically been done. Fair play, he raised £250,000 which most others can't do.
Not sure how he'll fair against Neal, think he'll struggle big time to be honest, not in the same league. He'll maybe do well at Knockhill though....... |

It'll be good to finally see him get a chance after so many years of not being able to raise the money.
By the sounds of things there's going to be a few of last years drivers left on the sidelines this year, especially if Reid is back in contention for a WSR drive. |

At the moment, the following drivers from last year have no confirmed drive:
Dan Eaves (likely at WSR) Colin Turkington (likely at WSR) Rob Collard (No link) James Pickford (maybe WSR) Luke Hines (Has he signed in BGT?) Gareth Howell (TD?) Richard Williams (Speed Equipe?) Ian Curley (Motorbase? or other?) Andy Neate (Daniels again?) |

I don't see any reason why he wouldn't. He did a good job for WSR with the limited funding they had last year.

He only got the drive because he was paying for the team to run him.

its not quite as clear cut as that, a number of drivers would have approached them with the £ for the drive and they picked him out of those, its probably a similar situation this year.

Reckon that dan Eaves will get 1 WSR seat, Colin Turkington another (considering he/his family own Rob Collard's car from last year) and the other seat is a fight between Reid and Collard, I know Dick Bennets respects both guys. Personally I would go for Reid but I am biased

My ideal line-up would be Reid-Turkington-Eaves but if Collard doesn't get a WSR seat, I don't know if he will even race in BTCC. Maybe he could ressurect Collard Racing?

I though Hines had already been mentioned earlier in this thread. He'd doing British GTs with Team TNT in a Panoz.

maybe its a bit controversial but with all the finiancial backing we know he has and his performance since 03, it makes me wonder whether the 2 barwell civics where the same that year.
