That could be a fair shout, though there is also the 2nd Eurotech Civic alongside Smith that no one's really been linked with.

Er, the Honda Civic is built in Britain!

Steel Wheels · 9 Feb 2015, 12:45 (Ref:3503282)

Triple 8 hae not mentioned their 3rd car at all! While Marc Hynes owns his MG the TBL was loand off 888, could therefore see Hynes take the MG elsewhere IF he returns & if someone has a TBL to run him or sell the car if he can't return.

I still think that Mr Plato may of tied a TBL into his deal with MG/888 (under the KX Clubcard Team) & therfore leaves MG/888 with only two TBL's & JP free to enter a 'new team/car' or entry if he chooses. Or if he links up with another team (BMR bak up plan) he could loan the TBL to one of the hopefuls wanting one! Just a thought (or 2). I go back in my box now

Don't forget that Marc Hynes has also lost his job since the end of last season.

If it's not the third WSR seat I will be amazed.

I have heard it said that "Turkington will be back", but whether that means "done deal" or "if all goes to plan" is another matter. And what wasn't clear is who he'd be back with...

**FIRE** · 11 Feb 2015, 00:13 (Ref:3503803)

What about Turks driving an Onyx Ford Focus in TCR?

winslade6770 · 11 Feb 2015, 07:22 (Ref:3503880)

Hunter back with RAR

S700UBO · 11 Feb 2015, 07:26 (Ref:3503883)

Good to read Hunter and Rob continuing in 2015. Lets hope the announcements keep coming!

thlbtcc · 11 Feb 2015, 07:26 (Ref:3503884)

Happy to see him return.

The drivers market still in a pickle then!

Well this post makes more sense than some I've read

(not by you psq43 by the way)

Great to see Hunter back with RAR, thought he deserved year 2 after his improved from over the season.

Remove Rotek & then we have 32

So Hunter is back, which is good for him, he deserves a second season, although TBH I was hoping they would go for a proven winner and maybe expecting it from what was being said.

BtccLee · 11 Feb 2015, 13:51 (Ref:3503982)

Abbott is a good signing to have back, hopefully a second seasons will edge him into the top tens.

I have been surprised by the amount of comments on Twitter suggesting Collard would be at RAR or Motorbase.

He has budget, knows the Beemer and his bloody quick. WSR would be foolish not to sign him I and I strongly believe they have.

Plato in BMR Passat is hardly mid-field I would argue.

Looking for a drive but struggling to get the funding, which is a shame as I think he's a great talent.

Craner Curves · 11 Feb 2015, 23:16 (Ref:3504127)

He's a modern day Stefan Hodgetts. Mighty in the support categories, but perennially underfunded.
