BTCC 2008 Rumours

...It was mentioned on this forum at the time.
It was a Vectra diesel too - which was odd because they were racing Astras at the time.

Was it not around the time they first looked at changing to the Vectra, though?

[Robinho]

yeah, they were appraising which car to use after the Astra Coupe, apprasied the sport hatch and Vectra together, the vectra also being a diesel IIRC

The 'Vectra diesel concept' was shown at the British Motorshow in 2004

I dont know what you think, but i've got a feeling that Onslow-Cole might get one of the Motorbase drives

It'd make sense. He has a knowledge of the car and should know how he likes to set it up

TOC wants to go back to FWD, so will be in a Vectra next season most likely.

well that would make sense for vauxhall. They have lost the hoilday sun sponsership, and with two big name drivers on board will need to get sum extra cash

I don't think they "lost" the Holiday Inn sponsorship - more like GM told them it was detracting from the promotion of the Vauxhall brand, and they should "lose" it.

I don't remember TOC's car being particularly flush with his own personal sponsors..?

Does this mean the Vectra won't have the green on the front if the holiday inn sponsorship is gone?
