Teams
If you look at Vauxhall and to be fair all the manufactures that have been in BTCC in recent years, history says, they have all have chosen proven championship winning teams like RML, 888,
SEAT don't have that to my knowledge.

Plus, I feel, SEAT proves the old saying "Rome was not built in a day".
NorthernSouth, as far as I am aware, and I am sticking my neck out here in the vain hope I may be right, do not have anywhere near the experience of 888 and RML. Grant and Ian may have been toghether since 2000 when they set up the team in March of that year, but only have been together at SEAT since 2005.Manufacturers Champs (06'), Teams Champs (07')

I wouldn't say it's the preparation firm's fault. The car is obviously competitive on its day. Anyway, I doubt they will have done much to the cars as supplied to them by SEAT Sport.

I'm not sure if they need a rule-break, if a paragraph I read in an advertisement in this week's Autosport is true. In the centre pages, there is an ad for a company called Turbo Dynamics. They say:
"Volkswagen Racing isn't the only satisfied customer to work with Turbo Dynamics. SEAT Sport UK has worked with TD since 2003. It's involvement includes running cars in the SEAT Cupra Championship and the turbocharged cars competing in the BTCC, including Jason Plato's Leon. the BTCC cars take a great deal of punishment: SEAT Sport UK's record for reliability and performance in competition is a testament to Turbo Dynamics' know-how and to the unparallelled reliability of it's turbochargers."
:You lot still here?!

I mean if you were the head of a team like Turbo Dynamics that does what TD does, would you openly annonce that your turbo chargers aren't competitive in the BTCC?Manufacturers Champs (06'), Teams Champs (07')

perhaps you missed the " " in the previous post?"I" before "E" except after "C". Weird.

more of a joke the error in Turbo Dynamics advertising, but the magazine should have spotted it too
"I" before "E" except after "C". Weird.
