Just something I heard the other day - Alfa 147's - Works Deal??

Nothing to report on DW Racing - couple of guys are seriously looking at the opportunities I have shown them.

[dwracing23]

Also I think Mr Jones will make a huge impact this year - but not in the IS200, a new car to the grid - Anything you want to tell us Luvinit?? Ive just heard rumours that tell me this info.

I have just read that BTC Racing might be selling their Lexuses after seeing them in Autosport. I am guessing they are low on funds because it is also in drives available so they may not be on the grid next year even though they said they would.

There's a horrendous misspelling of Priaulx in that ad! Some of the BTC guys post on the forum, so hopefully we'll get a better idea of what's going on there.

I also see that Dynamics have two Integras up for sale... John George presumably has the third one, but wasn't there talk of Richard Marsh buying one as well?

[Alfa Fan]

But isn't Marshs car an 05 one? The one Pinkney raced this year?

[cos]

Yes it is... I lose track of how many of those Integras there are! George has the ex-Neal 06 car (which is the Howell 05 car?)

[Alfa Fan]

AFAIK this is whats happened to the Integra

Car 1

2005 Matt Neal
2006 Mike Jordan
2007 Mike Jordan

Car 2

2005 Dan Eaves
2006 Dave Pinkney
2007 Richard Marsh

Car 3

2005 Gareth Howell
2006 Gareth Howell
2007 ???

Car 4

2006 Matt Neal
2007 John George

Car 5

2006 Gordon Shedden
2007 ???

And therefore its Cars 3 and 5 that are available.

Also heard a rumour that Eurotech may purchase Car 3 to run another driver in alongside Jordan.

Howells 2005 car was a hybrid between 2005/6 spec of the Integra I believe. I don't think Dynamics actually used in 2006 until mid-season, at which point it was upgraded to full 06 spec. Someone correct me if thats not accurate though.
