BTCC 2007 - rumours (merged)

[unsung hero]

if you read the message properly i said average lap times and also speed trap times and not just the od one also fionas car last year was heavier because of the extra fuel she was carrying before the rules changed at donnington last year on fuel weights for bio-ethanal run cars. Plus yes paul has won 2 races but that was in a competative car. so read things properly and know the facts

[BTCC2]

Are we talking about the Fiona Leggate who got 3 points in 21 races and the Paul O'Neil who got 7 from 6 despite there being considerably more cars in those 6 races aswell ?????? A bit of a mismatch really.

This is a rumours thread.

NOT a Fiona Leggate/paul o'neil comparison thread fgs!

Indeed tdb - it needs to get back on track.

The 5th test driver at an F1 team was the best rumour I've seen in many a moon though. Ace.

[unsung hero]

and i'm not saying fiona is better than paul as i like both of them put them in identical cars and i'll put 100 quid on fiona

[unsung hero]

this story is real the team she tested for is only small and she has strong ties with you'll seee soon. (boyfriend ties or maybe father ties) only those who know can tell you know what i mean

Sorry unsung hero, Fiona wasnt testing for formula 1, she was one of five drivers headhunted to compete for the prestige title "STIG" in the new summer Top Gear!

unsung hero, Paul O'Neil has won 2 BTCC races and driven for VX Racing for 2 years whilst they were BTCC champions. And if you look you will see that Fiona Leggates fastest Silverstone race lap time in 2005 was 1:02.450 but Paul O'Neils in 2006 was 1:01.558. So how you can say that Leggate is fater than O'Neil I don't know.

I agree, Leggate is not fatter than O'Neil, she looks like she only be about 8 stone!

I totally agree! Lets get back on to the topic in hand and talk about the rumour mill!

Will we see either driver at MD?? No, I dont think so.
Will we see either driver at the first race? Maybe one.
Will we see either driver at the last race? I think both will finish the season.

How many drivers at media day? I think around 24.
Drivers to start the last race weekend? Around 30/32.

Champion? Plato!
2nd? Turner
3rd? A Toledo

Plus points of 2007? Big grids, big action, a young driver to win a race, a Integra to win a race (Mike Jordan), BMW's to run good at certain tracks, Civic will get better as season goes on, BIG BIG crash at Knockhill!

2008 will be bigger and better than 2007!
