So I thought perhaps I should create one.
There are several I have seen so far this season. One is Marc Hynes in Motor Sport Magazine. To quote “Hynes has put himself in a position to succeed by signing for two years with the MG factory team Triple Eight.” So is this confirmation that MG are going beyond the three year plan or just Triple Eight will stick around after MG go?
Number two is in Racecar Engineering, who seem to think that the Civic Tourer will be a one year special before next year being replaced by the new Civic Type- R. The same magazine has Robb Holland stating that he would like to build and sell customer S3’s.
Finally we have TBL 32. Now Gow has said he would like to reduce the issued TBL’s back down to 31. From what I can see that isn’t going to happen. We have Jake Hill who seems exceedingly confidant that he will be out in a touring car sometime later this year, if his Porsche deal doesn’t work out. We also have the mystery “Car” that nobody really knows about but has been hinted at by people in the know.
Fire away people…

Good shout Lee with this thread.
Jake Hill & his Dad seemed pretty confident of Jake being in later this year, so is he lined up for the 'mystery car' when that appears or is someone already on borrowed time & we'll see the first (and only) change in a car somewhere?
Robb Holland originally planned to build 2 S3's and has said they are looking at customer supply, so could we see a 2nd Rotek entry? When BMR get their 3rd VW out for Scott the Insignia will be spare, plus the Civic that Mr James was supposed to have is kicking around, so potential for others to come in if allowed.
All interesting stuff
