It did sound a bit like a British Touring Car Random Team Generator, especially with Triple 8 involved. Still, some welcome variety and the 6 is a nice looking car, whatever the reviews say (after all, road tests haven't been that kind to the Cruze. Or the new Civic...).
Chinese car? Maybe, but the Chevrolets were basically Daewoos (yes, even the Cruze) and they worked well enough as touring cars. Bottom line: a decent team, with the right driver(s), can turn almost anything into a good racing car. That colour scheme looks like it's not going to be easy to miss either...https://wordpress.com/stats/insights/stugrovesf1.wordpress.com

Wow, good news, glad to see MG back (even though it's not really MG).
Hate the livery though!

Is that the confirmed livery?? Either way you look at it the team looks strong..expect them to be off the pace maybe for the first few meetings but its a three year programme so a bit of stability for the series. Couldnt imagine BTCC without 888!!

I thought the same as most people did. chinese owned = going to be a bad car but owning the MG ZS 180 as my daily run around i hat to try the MG6 just to see how bad it was and shockingly it wasnt bad at all.
I now own a MG6 Magnette saloon in silver and After owning it for the past 3months, i have to say, its a really nice car to drive. Don't believe everything you read. the 1.8i Engine is a very quick and a gutsy engine(133bhp) good for 0-60 in 8.4. you put your foot down and off it goes. its a smooth cruiser as well, which is great for motorway driving, one of the reasons i bought it and i had a 05 BMW 318i for my business car (Which the MG6 replaced). so now im a proud owner of the classic zs180 and now the modern and adorable MG6.Rickard Rydell 2011 STCC CHAMPION!!! :D

I'm a bit surprised they've gone for the TOCA turbo engine. It was often outpaced last year. But there's no denying that this is very good for the championship.

What's the first thing to come to...
