Vauxhall pull out!!

[tdb]

So, back on topic!

An Arbarth Astra anyone?

If Daniel allows shall we get back to the topic ie Vauxhall will pull out of the BTCC at the end of the year and what will 888 do then?

888 have hinted that they may have another manufacturer interested.

If not it is highly likely they will get a big sponsor on board and run the Vectras for another year as an independant. That way they keep their profile in everyones mind so when the upturn arrives they are in position to take advantage.

Of course if Fiat do buy GM we may be watching Puntos on track. Aghhhhhh!!

Punto!!!

Wouldn't the Bravo be a more appropriate model, size wise? Although there isn't an Abarth version.

Whatever.

Anyway Corsa's and Grande Punto's share the same platform so I very much doubt Fiat would take GP's to the BTCC and not allow Vauxhall to race the Corsa.

Well I doubt Fiat would go into touring cars, rallying is more their thing as shown by the whole Abarth thing

Yea Fiat or rather Arbarth are rumoured to be close to joining the WRC so cant see them doing both unfortunately.
