Btcc 2013
So...
6 Insignias in 2012?!
Thorney Motorsport - Team Hard purchase TWO Insignia VXR-R's
I'll very much believe it when I see it, but Tony Gilham has bought two of them, Thorney themselves have a "major sponsor" in place to run another two, and he has interest from two other teams for a car each. Crazy.
P.S. Not as crazy as this forum banning capital letters in thread names...2nd place in the big quizz challenge!

It looks like they've still got a long way to go but good luck to John Thorne and his organisation on their next step in the BTCC.
I've also been pleased to see Tony Gilham taking competing in the BTCC as a team seriously and not just for his own gratification. Building your own race team takes time and dedication and I hope that he can rise through the ranks over the coming years as a successful team owner.

This is one of the reasons I'm not overly comfortable with all the criticism of 'drivers with money'. There are some pretty useful ones in the BTCC at the moment who deserve more credit than they get.

Motorbase's transporter is up for sale alongside their 3 Focus' from this season. I find it curious the transporter is being sold, usually only when a team is leaving, but with them building the NGTC Focus that seems very unlikely?

I saw something on FB that Motorbase have been using a brand new Volvo lorry so I wouldnt read into that too much...I think!
Other news AMD are looking to race an NGTC car next season and keep Ollie Jackson as their driver.
Tony Hughes wont be returning to the BTCC next year. His pace hasnt been great, but he has been solid enough and not ruined anyone elses races, unlike MGs pay driver...My motorsport pics here on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/allyc85/sets/

I wish them well. They've stuck with the championship, their car has improved steadily, and Jackson has done a pretty good job with it this year, showing some real flashes of pace late on. Originally Posted by Allyc85
