Edit: I love how they cut the live stream feed even before all of the cars have crossed the line.

Mostert looks pretty unstoppable at the moment. Hopefully, he has the funds to do the rest of the season. Would be nice if he brings some of this winning form over to Supercar land. Might have to wait for SVG to give it away first though.

Indeed, Ciceley retired it in favour of the newer 330i Beemer, they could be the dark horses for 2021. Much like the VW CC's, the A-Class was a bit aged after being in service since 2014.
The Merc's are still up for sale I believe, as there's still 2 years left on its homologation.

A bit later than expected, but Tom Ingram shows off his Ginsters-backed i30 for the coming season:
Dare I say it looks even smarter than the Corolla...
Meanwhile, Hyundai switches to the Elantra model for the 2021 WTCR season; four customer entries confirmed:

Jack Goff topped the morning session of the official pre-season Silverstone test, in the new Team HARD Cupra.
Afternoon session currently 1 hour through, with Shedden, Turkington and Plato the top 3 as it stands.
Edit: Shedden finished top of the board in the afternoon on his BTCC return, as pre-season testing concludes.
Official season launch saw the full grid presented earlier as well. Round 1 can't come soon enough!

@Michelin Man And while Ingram gets his Ginsters Hyundai into the top 10, the rest of the Excelr8 liveries this year aren't looking bad, either.
I know its early days yet, but it would be a boon for both Goff and Team HARD if they can get the Cupra up to the sharp end from the very start. Very promising showing in session 1.

I know it might seem like a relatively monochrome grid, but there's many fantastic looking liveries this year. The i30N's are up there in that regard.
Absolutely. There's some very interesting stories to play out, with the various changes over the winter. Team HARD are perhaps the most fascinating, so hopefully their hard work pays dividends.

Great variety of cars once again! - The NextGen era rules have certainly showed that pretty much any suitable car can be made into a winner. A quick look on Wiki for the results since NGTC rules came in shows that 11 different manufacturers have won races in that period. Can't be many, if any, series that can boast the same?
Could we be adding two more with Hyundai and Seat/Cupra this season?

During supertouring, ten manufacturers won races (BMW, Vauxhall, Toyota, Renault, Nissan, Ford, Alfa Romeo, Volvo, Honda and Audi) so NGTC is more successful in that regard.
For what it's worth, during that period five manufacturers did not win; Rover, Mitsubishi, Mazda, Peugeot and Opel (2 races in 1997).

Proving that he is no worse off after his sabbatical, Gordon Shedden tops today's second pre-season test session. Jack Goff (Team HARD Cupra) and Michael Crees (BTC Racing Honda) complete the rostrum.
