I may have misread your post - I read it as saying that WSR were the closest to a 'works team', but having read back I can see my mistake.
So to my mind, Team Dynamics seem to be the only team with any real technical support. WSR, 888, PMR and BMR all seem to be a non-technical support situation? |

Kieran Gallagher looks like he may be in the frame at Team HARD. Put up a post on Facebook suggesting he is back in a Passat.

I'm pretty sure Jason Plato mentioned that in the MG's second season they benefited from additional support from MG including CAD data which helped them improve the chassis and aero. |

'Help from the factory in the early stages is welcome and means less real time building, with computer work coming first, “Honda are very good to work with, quite a modern company. There is a fair bit of support comes out of the factory when it comes to data that we can work with, CAD drawings etc.”' 'when a bonnet is needed with the striker mechanism in it or any other panel that maybe doesn’t need a certain bracket or fixing, it’s simply left off as the part progresses down the production line.' |

I'm guessing / hoping that he will be alongside Jackson at Motorbase with Aron Taylor-Smith. |

What about Dan Lloyd? He knows the team and was blindingly quick this year in that Honda...

However Hill and Smith have driven with Motorbase before so they would be my guess. |

I can see Motorbase going for a young talented driver, they've always been prepared to do that and it could be any of the names mentioned. Jake Hill would be the best option IMO

What about Cook or Sutton? They've both shown their strenght and MG hasn't confirmed any drivers yet.

If so they would be good candidates for Motorbase as well in terms of driving ability... if they can get the budget. |

Next Thursday will see the second Motorbase driver revealed.
"Thursday morning will witness livery unveilings by Andrew Jordan – who will remove the wraps from his new Pirtek-branded BMW 125i M Sport – Rob Austin and AmD, while Motorbase is set to reveal the identity of the driver who will pilot the second of its three striking Shredded Wheat-backed Ford Focuses." http://www.btcc.net/2017/01/05/btcc-...international/ |

Does anyone know if Kelvin Fletcher has a drive for next year?
I know few people were skepticial about his credentials, but I geninually believed he showed some promise last season. He showed good pace in free pratice getting quicker and improving, he was just very unfortunate he couldnt string this into great race results, although often this was due to other factors outside his control due to some careless driving at the back of the field. |
