    New Manufacturer For 2009

    Has anyone heard who the new manufacturer will be ?

    Be great for the championship and would also indicate that its going from strength to strength, even in today's economic climate !!!

    I have been involved in BTCC.net equivalent to this thread (user Rockinrobin55). People reckon BMW as Mr Neal says Rear wheel drive manufacturer!! Although it has been thought by some people as being Skoda, obviously !!!LOL!!!

    BMW would be the most likely bet - they've seen how well their cars go in the British Series and could now pay the manufacturer entry fee, enter a team and reap the marketing rewards too.

    For neutrals, the organisers and the profile but what about SEAT and Vauxhall?

    I don't think a new works team would worry Vauxhall, I don't think any team could worry VXR, but SEAT? They are not the finished article. SEAT run around like headless chickens half the time finding answers to problems they created. A new works team I think could easily come in straight away with a better operation than SEAT and run faster, more consistent and more reliable cars. VXR do. I don't see why their cannot be others out there that can do the same.

    Mercedes or BMW would be a great bet for a works team with a lot of might behind them.

    I think that anyteam is competition, good reliability or not, they are still competition.
