Discussion
A lot of changes next year;
The Hybrid era: No Ballast
Ginetta V8’s:

New Porsches: Hope they will be just as entertaining.
F4: New Chassis / Engine combo.
No doubt a lot of driver changes too.
Could be a very interesting season.
A thread for speculation & gossip.

Talks of a split between BMR/laster tools/broadley or whatever the mix is. Ash driving a Jag at BMR seems to be a strong deal done sort of thing.
Plato rumours again strong could be anywhere even maybe a Honda at BTC.
BMW may be leaving as well.
Think it's going to be a very mixed up grid next year.
I just hope we have less black cars tbf.

Sure they mentioned that the Porsche series will be using a new car next year too, just can't remember the exact numbers. 
Looking forward to the Minis again.
The ‘992’ Up from 480bhp to 510.Looking forward to the Minis again.
Lots of changes under the skin & bit more aero.
Minis: Will be interesting to see if anybody can make the move up.
( or a Bobby Thompson return in either)

The Ginetta grid will be a mix of existing G55s and the new V8 G56s. Personally I think there will be more G55s than G56s.
The new Porsche looks mega!
Apparently, Colin White has purchased a G56...going to mix it with the big boys. The new Porsche looks mega!
Wonder how they will compare in lap times.
Adam Smalley... is in the last four for the Porsche drive.
( So will have to wait & see what happens there)
Tim & Paul seem excited...

Yes, Colin has bought one. I know of two others who have too. I imagine Colin will still be in the Am (or ProAm as it’s now known) Class.Wonder how they will compare in lap times.

Mike Simpson was out in the G56 in Friday testing at Brands and it was roughly a second faster round a lap of the GP circuit than the G55. Pretty much the same pace as the current Porsche Cup car.

Excuse me? Jags in the BTCC? REALLY? Yes please!
Also, I’m sure Turks said that they were going away to review the BMW.... perhaps a new model is being contemplated.Dan BSCS said:

Wow, thanks... pretty rapid then. Mike Simpson was out in the G56 in Friday testing at Brands and it was roughly a second faster round a lap of the GP circuit than the G55. Pretty much the same pace as the current Porsche Cup car.
Bet they sound great too.

Have to admit the lack of interesting supports for me is a reason I di not visit BTCC much.
A lot of it is very samey same make stuff, I get why but it appeals as much as a pain in the wotsit.
it works though, but it has never tickled my fancy at all to be honest
Porsche used to be the snoozepots...but they were so much more entertaining this year.A lot of it is very samey same make stuff, I get why but it appeals as much as a pain in the wotsit.

Think F4... needs a bigger grid.
I'm guessing F4 may dwindle a bit next year given the new GB4 (?) series taking a lot of drivers with aspirations of moving up the ladder. Bit of a shame if it does.
Ginetta Juniors are always good to watch, Robert De Haan must be a fair shout for the championship if he returns - Good effort this year as a rookie.

GB4... New one to me, interesting reading.Ginetta Juniors are always good to watch, Robert De Haan must be a fair shout for the championship if he returns - Good effort this year as a rookie.
I suppose the Live TV coverage could be a major factor in their decisions.
