I've heard he has some interesting offers on the table both in and out of BTCC. His sudden availability has attracted good interest. I hope he gives BTCC another shot.

I hope he's back in the BTCC because I think the potential is there if he gets the right car for him to contend. However if British GT came calling it wouldn't surprise me if he went there. |

Didn't know if this was one for 2024/2025 but sustainability goals have been outlined by the championship: https://btcc.net/btcc-to-further-rai...t-silverstone/
Interesting to see that 100% sustainable fuel is being tested this weekend at Silverstone. |

If they were able to use sustainable fuel only at Goodwood the other weekend, I cannot see why they shouldn't be able to do so for the BTCC. I appreciate that some of the fuel monitoring/engine management ECUs may require tweaking, but that shouldn't be beyond the wits of those involved with that sort of thing. |

Thanks for that; either I missed that important fact, or they were economical with the truth on their broadcasts, including their own publicity inserts during the broadcasts. |

The devil is in the detail 100% of cars were running on 70% sustainable fuel WEC started using biofuel a few years ago and most big GT series have now switched. It was only a matter of time before it filtered down |

I was only going on their broadcasts, and hadn't looked at their website until I was corrected. I really cannot recall any mention over the three days that the sustainable fuel element was only 70%; I had the impression that it was sustainable, which, to me, meant 100% and partial.
I think that I am correct that Virgin Atlantic has now completed a cross-Atlantic flight on 100% sustainable fuel, and that other airlines have also done similar flights elsewhere. If so, I am more than certain that it should be possible for BTCC cars to perform equally well at 100% sustainable fuel. |
