Triple Eight Racing have confirmed that James Nash will remain with the team for the remainder of the 2010 British Touring Car Championship season.
The original deal Nash struck with the Vectra team was due to end at Snetterton next month, however he will now keep the drive to the completition of the championship.
Triple Eight have already lost Fabrizio Giovanardi, Phil Glew and Daniel Lloyd due to the difficulties in finding sponsorship and look set to field a single car at the BTCC Snetterton round unless another driver (complete with funding) can be found.
James Nash was one of the outstanding performers in the recent Snetterton test day and will be hoping to start the second half of the season with a decent points haul.

Nash went well on the next two circuits on the calender Snetterton and Silverstone. He is in with a good chance of getting his first win on one of these two rounds I would say.
Thanks for the comments Lee, although I’m pretty sure they relate to other articles!
Turkington has made a big impact on the WTCC and is in with a great chance of winning the Independants Trophy if they can find the money to keep him in the championship. We’d all love to see Colin return to the BTCC but giving up a WTCC championship win for a return to (what would be not much more than a weekend drive) BTCC could be hard to justify. 2011 sponsorship would be easier to get as 2009 BTCC & 2010 WTCC Independant Champion!
But enough about that, what are your thoughts on James Nash and the news he will drive for Triple Eight for the rest of the championship?
Colin Turkington will be in one of those older BMW’s, competing in what is scheduled to be his last race of the season for EBay Motors/West Surrey Racing. The team is hoping to find backing to return later in the year, after they return to the BTCC for the next two rounds.
Colin or WSR?
According to Touring Car Times Colin Turkington will return to the BTCC for Snetterton and Silverstone.
Please Confirm.
