Bamboo to WTCC

[VXRDartford]

Just seen in Autosport mag that Bamboo are entering the WTCC with 2 cars for Harry V and Darryl o'young (porsche Asia champ) and they are wanting to run Turkington as well!

You'd have to wonder if they'd be any more competitive in the WTCC. If not, it seems strange that Turkington would move over there.

This is an awful move. No pedigree in the BTCC for driver and team. So Vaulkhard Snr has decided that since Harry was rubbish in the BTCC, lets try the WTCC. Harry was the slowest of all 4 Chevrolets all last season!

Does that make Harry a bad driver? no. Last season i thought Vaulkhard suffered badly through a few too many mechanical problems and plain bad luck. His display at Donington Park showed what he can do when thigns are going for him.

That said though i dont understand the want for them to move to the WTCC. I dont think they'll be serious challengers for the independents crown (not when they're up against the likes of SUNRED (who are getting some of the SEAT TurboDiesels) Proteam, Engstler and Wiechers. But at least they're ambitious and brave enough to give it a proper go. Good luck to them.

Got to agree, I think they are making the jump waay too soon. Theres far too many experienced and talented outfits in the WTCC and I fear that Harry and co will just be making up the numbers in the indy championship.

I hope im wrong though

Harry Vaulkhard and the Bamboo team were decent in the BTCC and they will probably find themselves stuck in the rear of the midfield in the WTCC. Good luck to the team!

lets not forget that Vaulkard did do pretty well in the ETCC this year....

He's a very quick driver, but I don't think his driving style is suited to the BTCC, he too often gets himself involved in tangles. Perhaps he would do a better job in the WTCC where there is less contact and they race on wider tracks.

Yes, but who did he race against???

Their names just roll off your tongue don't they?
