I think out of all the circuits in the UK that don't already have a round, Anglesey is the only one that has sufficient facilities. Accessibility is the problem there. |

Anglesey was the circuit I was going to suggest, I guess if the Circuit of Wales happens that might get a round. Can't say I'd want to see any of the other circuits lose a round (except maybe Brands Indy) and can't see further rounds being added to the schedule due to cost. |

Was thinking about Circuit of Wales but that's looking increasingly unlikely to ever actually happen. Decisions about it just keep getting put back. |

Circuit of Wales will never happen / get built. |

On the rallycross track. There really isn't a suitable venue outside of those already on the calendar to put a 'new' track on. |

what about adding Donington GP instead of Brands Indy? |

I always thought that the BTCC should have it's first round at the Donington GP track than the Brands Indy. Just always seemed like a good track to open with |

Silverstone is a good opener and closer. Thruxton the same. Brands book ending the season is ok but more probably a demand from Palmer than anything else. |

Going back to other UK Circuits, could run on the international section of Silverstone. Which uses the south loop instead of the north. I've raced it myself and its a good circuit, very fast. |

Swindon, RML, Mountune, Neil Brown Engineering and Cosworth have all tendered to be the stock NGTC provider from 2017: http://www.touringcartimes.com/2015/08/11/winning-btcc-tenders-to-be-announced-after-knockhill/ Some bid names in this process. |

Also, despite what some journalists are saying, the second Para car will not return at all this season and Welch Motorsport are in real danger in losing both TBL's next year. |

Lost one with immediate effect. http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/120349 Hope they can pull it together with the single entry as it's nice having variety in the field but they've been piss poor in the worst way for over a year and a half with no improvements (they got worse.) Hopefully scaling down to one car will help. |

Didn't Welch go with their own engine? |

They changed engines before the start of the 2014 season and they've been terrible since. Which is a crying shame as Daniel Welch was making good progress in 2012 and 2013. It seems that since they went to two cars they've stretched themselves. |

Hunter Abbott may, or may not be racing at Knockhill after RAR's deal with a replacement driver fell through. |

Simon Belcher was scheduled to replace Hunter Abbott at Knockhill, however, TOCA put a stop to him being able to take part |
