Out of blind loyalty to the most Irish Anglo-Hungarian to ever set foot in the BTCC paddock, I'll go with Nissan.

Yeah, I love a bit of afters. I'd say it was more Russell's fault than Bottas's though.

I get the impression that this mightn't be the popular choice, but I'm going for Mick Schumacher. Yeah, he beat Mazepin, but on the strength of the current evidence we as a forum would give Mazepin a good run for his money. No real merit in that. I always felt the spirit of ROTR was something a litt...

I never minded PdR, always thought he got a lot more stick on here than he deserved. He was never going to be the next Senna but he was a quietly tidy driver, staple of the midfield type of person - never deserved the pelters he got on here in my eyes.

VLR offers Tim Harvey and James Kaye with Colin Blair if one of them rejects the offer. Assuming that both Harvey and Kaye were being offered the base rates (80k and 40k respectively), both gleefully accept.

Rather anti-climatically, I only had three RNGs left when I bailed yesterday. Nevertheless, here they are! First on the wagon today is Alain Menu .

Lotus are protesting against Mario Andretti's car in the US GP. The u-turn over Keke Rosberg's disqualification also shows the shocking lack of spine at FISA. It seems that dangerous driving, as long as it is carried out by a car that is in Mr Balestre's favourite colour, is more than okay, and this...

Driver RNGs - Whopper post, part 1 With the silly season in full swing, teams scuttled around to try and secure the optimal line-up for their 2001 challenge. First up, we have Marc Hynes who received an offer of 30k from Barwell. The former F3 ace struggled to crack the F3000 sphere, and faces a ye...

Howdy fellas, I think I initially said today was the deadline for driver bids, but because I've unexpectedly been snowed under with work I'm going to extend that to Tuesday 6th April, 16:00 BST . Looking at it, I think most of ye have bids in anyway, but on the off chance anyone wants to revise plan...

Quite simply, if you're not a works team then you have carte blanche when it comes to picking what car you want to use, but you don't get the megabucks cash injection that comes with being a works team.

Just to keep things going at a decent pace, here we are with the manufacturers RNGs! First up out the blocks is BMW . The Bavarian outfit were iffy about rejoining the series they left in 1996, but with two of the bigger names in the sport in Prodrive and West Surrey Racing trying to woo them, they'...

Happy days, we'll have more actual touring cars than RL 2001 BTCC had at this rate!

This is my comeuppance for trying to juggle this with work Re the works bids, only the manufacturer name is needed . Should you obtain their backing, you'll be at their behest with regards to what car you'll be running. I've also had a few questions about drivers on the chat, so thought I'd try and ...

Righty ladies and gents, now that we've a decent amount of teams signed up for 2001 I think it's time to start progressing with the season. The first course of action is to tally the votes for the two motions put to teams in pre-season. As outlined in the pre-season, all teams have 1 vote of equal w...

1. Tsunoda - very solid debut. Looked quick, made some nice overtakes on some very illustrious names, and capped the weekend off with points. Very impressive. 2.

1. Mazepin - Coming into this weekend, I had seen a lot of talk about how poor a driver he is. Given his antics , for want of a better word, on social media, I assumed that this was a case of people disliking him on a personal level and in turn basing their opinion of his driving ability around tha...
