BTCC announcement due? Rich at the Hard Compound on his way to Brands Hatch and can't quite keep it to himself (again)?

Yet another to point at WRC dropping hybrid and trying to link that to the BTCC, while completely forgetting that WEC is hybrid and enjoying the time of its life.

The 10 am element is NAPA Racing, so nothing new there, it's public info.

Bit of an odd tweet when the time for the Napa livery reveal has been known for about a week and all over socials. Can't see anyone else being that daft to drop a driver announcement directly against news from the championship winning team.

Yeah, think the white makes it a bit too busy personally. Still, at least it’s colourful! Didn’t realise how massive the front intake was. Seems the smaller intakes either side have been reshaped as well?

Prefer last year's livery. This one feels a bit too busy and cluttered. Still wouldn't mind if they rolled out all 4 cars in the Valvoline colours for a round.

Yeah, same feelings, last year's livery seemed a bit 'cleaner', this one seems a bit messy but that's perhaps a case of getting used to it.

I suppose us amateur snappers are going to have another nightmare year!!
Last year had me saving up for hair implants, just so I could have some to pull out!!
PMR and NAPA were a pain to sort out!

Add in the assumedly black and red Gazoo Racing liveried Corolla's too. At least WSR you could kinda figure out by the sponsors on the front.

NAPA livery is a nice switch up, agreed it loses some of the simplicity of the 2022 and 2023 versions.

WSR still very quiet, and we haven't seen plans for any sort of launch yet. Very low-key off season from them outside of the Lazor Tools announcement.

Heads down working on the car to try and fight Alliance, the Top Brass at BMW won’t want to get beaten by a Dagenham Dustbin again

I had seen a suggestion that there may have been another change of heart over the 3-series, and that a surprise may still crop up on the car front.

Either way, little doubt they are working hard and will be contenders come what may at Donington.
