Would it be natural to assume these would head over to Pirtek?

It would, but that's not who they are being built for. Apparently.

While I remember as well, EBay will sponsor WSR in 2013. WSR are targeting 2 or 3 cars.

I'm not keen on the 1 Series but I am intriuged to see how it looks in NGTC guise. Thanks for the updates!

It's looking very good for next year, and Gilham appear to not be the only one running more than 2 cars next year. I'm excited.

So is it natural to assume they are heading over to Tony Gilham Enterprises? He seems to be ready and willing to buy and run anything. I'd be surprised if he doesn't lodge an entry for the 2014 F1 World Championship.

Nothing has been confirmed yet, but it is NOT Gilham.

That leaves the door open for many teams then. Which is a good thing. I mean, there's been no further mention of Chris James' team recently or Frank Wrathall. Both could be candidates. Wrathall in a Civic would be good.

I'd be surprised to see Wrathall leave Dynojet since it's his family team, or the team changing cars since they have already developed the Avensis...

By the way, did Ginetta still have the award drive for grabs for the Ginetta champion (which would be Carl Breeze)? And if so, will that be run by Dynojet again (as they have with Wrathall and Adam Morgan this year)?

I don't expect Wrathall to leave Dynojet, I'm just wondering if they'll continue with the Avenis (which they've developed inhouse for the past two seasons, including completely rebuilding it for the 2012 season) with moderate success.

I'm sure the Ginetta prize was scaled back for the 2012 Champion, but I'm not sure to what extent.

It was a monetary prize with the winner getting £100,000 or something like that, with the rest being split with the rest of the grid.

It would be nice to have Carl Breeze back in BTCC. Perhaps a contender for Team Gilham?
