Fantastic news for the championship. Unlucky for Gordon Shedden though.

Well I never! What does this mean for Thompson's Danish commitments, I wonder?

Great to see James back but really am disapointed for Shedden, hopefully they can get that 3rd car out ASAP!

From what I can work out there is only one potential date clash, on the 2nd of August when the Snetterton BTCC races coincide with the Copenhagen GP in the DTCC. Still, I wonder which commitment takes priority. Presumably the first one!

Great news to have James Thompson back in the championship, I hope it is for the entire year. I also hope Gordon Shedden is back out in the third Team Dynamics Civic very shortly.

Great news, didn't see that one coming.

Shame he has to join a moaning team, still at least he has replaced one of the BTCC's dirty drivers.....

Great news - still disappointed that he isn't in the WTCC. But you can't have everything. The BTCC needs drivers of his calibre imo.

I was told Thommo will do the rest of the BTCC dates. So I am assuming he will be at Snetterton.

It is a pity for Shedden.. But, Team Dynamics needs Thommo.

Interesting to see that Thommo has a different race number (#35) to Shedden, so a possible return for him.

if he'd done the whole year in 06 he would have won the championship

great news, but very surprised, would have expected them to keep hold of shedden, but i thought that about Dan Eaves!

I think there was more than was ever said in public to do with Dan eaves departing from Dynamics.

There was a lot more.

Anyway that is history now. Lets see what happens at Thruxton.

It brilliant to have another great driver in the series, but Shedden has proved that he is a very good driver and a proven race winner. I hope they both race this year.

It's good to see him back but I would rather he replaced Pinkney not Sheddon. I suppose it goes down to who has the cash again.
