You know when you get 10 years into a Football Manager save and the appointments start getting strange?
Jack Wilshere is our new manager 🧡

The best cars in sim racing at the moment, I'm convinced. The right cars, from the right time period, in the right sim to do them justice properly.

The postscript to this story is that both myself and Alain Menu were given a test in the Williams Renault F1 car to complete the story. Sadly, and to my eternal disappointment, I couldn’t fit into the tight confines of the F1 car and didn’t get to drive it!! 🤦♂️
Throwback to when F1 star @therealdcf1 swapped his Williams-Renault for something a little more… touring! #BTCC ace @timharvey7 gave DC a tour of his Renault Laguna, before letting him loose for a few laps, and let’s just say, Coulthard didn’t hang about! 🏁💨

From one legend to another 💙 A special farewell moment as @JakeHillDriver gifted Mark his one-off helmet and received a HUGE bottle of port signed by the whole team in return. Cheers Jake!🍷 #WeAreLaserToolsRacing #MBMotorsport #BTCC

Rovanpera targeting an F2 Seat? I've seen this one before!
This is a mega story. Rovanpera's been a revelation in rallying, but is now retiring at 25 to make the switch to single-seaters. He's starting in Super Formula next year, and is targeting a move to F2 for 2027.

Huge loss for the WRC, but this is such a cool move for them to make. Still only 25 and a double WRC champion, he has plenty of time to return to rallying if he so chooses - but only a finite amount of time to make that switch to circuit racing. Go get em, Kalle.

Getting the silly season ball rolling nice and early - @NickTandyR to sensationally walk away from HyperCar after this to take one of the NAPA Racing BTCC seats.
🚨 BREAKING: @PorscheRaces has revealed it will pull the plug on its factory Hypercar effort in the @FIAWEC at the end of the year, amid a "comprehensive realignment" in the German manufacturer's motorsport programs. ➡️ https://t.co/RQZHyqHFqp

One of the last of the true privateers of that era - on a miniscule budget that was dwarfed by the works teams finances even in the earlier parts of Super Touring. Rest easy, Geoff.
We’re deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Geoff Steel — former #BTCC racer, team owner, and founder of Geoff Steel Racing. Our thoughts are with Geoff’s family, friends, and everyone who worked alongside him over the years.

Finally got an evening to get this set up, and my goodness what a difference it makes. Having it wide-screen, with FFB, and better mirrors turns it from a curiosity into something I can actually see myself racing in. Long live the golden age of 90's sim racing.
It seemed impossible... but you can now play IndyCar Racing II in widescreen Or even Ultrawide! 🤯 https://t.co/VRrYRNcFzp

Not quite the send off I think most of us wanted, but a podium is still a great way to go out. It's been a pleasure to cheer you on for the last decade or so in this series @JakeHillDriver, and I really hope whatever comes next is just as successful!
🏆 Finishing his @btcc career on the podium! Well done @JakeHillDriver 💙 #WeAreLaserToolsRacing #MBMotorsport #BTCC

Genuinely nice to see Dan Lloyd getting some long deserved success - the unluckiest man in UK Motorsport at times, but the speed has never been in doubt.

Yeah, he's a little bit good that Nick Tandy guy isn't he.
Nick Tandy won the second Vertu MINI CHALLENGE race of the weekend at Brands Hatch but Tom Ovenden had the most reason to cheer as he secured the JCW title Check out the report >> https://t.co/LnUKa4GQNR

To steal a phrase - "The Rejoin to surpass Metal Gear" from Chris Smiley there. Sutton didn't even lift, heroic driving. #BTCC
