BTCC 2007 - rumours (merged)

[Captain VXR]

WSR will be running the 2 S2000 cars that they have.

Kartworld do not have Alfa 156's. they do, however have 2 S2000 cars.

Will any of these be a new make/model of car to enter the BTCC?

[Captain VXR]

I could see Dynamics in Chevrolets - not likely though.
Can anyone do a Photoshop perhaps using:

That was the best picture of an Audi A4 I could find, sorry if the BMW in the background gets in the way.

Errrm........ Only 2 doors! so no it can't be entered in S2000.

Whoops. Didn't spot that. However, didn't a 2 door Toyota Corolla appear briefly in the WTCC this year? Or was it the ETC cup thing? Or both?

Damn these minor regulation details. Just bang another 2 doors in it. :
Or give it special dispensation.

[Captain VXR]

The Corolla entered both and JAS used to use 3-door Civics before the Accords. Something tells me that Honda Sweden entered a CTR in 2005's WTCC and that GR Asia used Civics in 2004.
Do you remember the green Focusii of 2005 and the one that got written off? they were all 3 doors as were the Focusii of 2005's ETCC at Vallelunga. The 2004 ETCC 307(s) may have been 3 door too.
Quite a few 3 door cars here http://www.fiatouringcars.com/2k4/?c...valencia&id=9#

Some of those are 3 door

[BT 96]

Correct Robinho.

I'm sure BT96 will appear and confirm this to the folk who don't beleive what i post.

tdb your right again, I own the team, and Chris owns a car, as for the second driver, there is lots of guys out there, but as for guys with the money again not that many.So we will have to see who comes up with the £, I can tell you we have 1 of 3 I want to do it Paul Sheard,Darren Dowling,Dan Eves,thats all I can tell you.

[Iain]

I could see Dynamics in Chevrolets - not likely though.
Can anyone do a Photoshop perhaps using:

(RAC Audi A4)
That was the best picture of an Audi A4 I could find, sorry if the BMW in the background gets in the way.

Where did this RAC and Audi thing come from? They will be running S2000 cars, but they won't be Audis.

The three door Civics were entered by JAS on the provision that they would then build the 4 door Accord to replace them. The 3 door 307s were allowed to run because PSE Denmark were going to build 5 door versions, when they were able to get hold of the parts for them. I'm guessing the Corolla was a local homologation thing, like the Audi A4, Lexus IS200, Mercedes C-Klasse, Opel Astra OPC and Renault Megane.

[Plato 4 Title]

maybe now people will realise that there will be NO clyde valley chevys and dan eaves isnt involved with the team if he is talking to BT96's team about the 2nd car.

[Captain VXR]

Or it could be a back up if Clyde valley don't get the money.

Lots of speculation.
