Chris Stockton will be back WITH a team-mate in the Lexus.

Faster and more reliable!

Didn't think there was that much left of Nick Leason's old car!

that's Chris's car - Nick never had Monty's millions on it. I especially like the comment 'very little use'

The last time i saw Nick Leasons old car it had no engine, front wings, bonnet, bumper or front cross member.

I can decipher SEATFREAK's posts easier than I could that one..... :s

Check the date of the advert - November. Many things have changed since then.

But when people try to tell you what is going on... you still insist on asking the same question!

The first part of this post doesn't read like a question to me!

Can I stop this thread now, with the facts.

The car used by Nick last year was offered for sale, but that has been withdrawn as we have decided to continue to run both Lexus.

The team has recently announced we will be racing this season with both cars and Chris Stockton will be driving and his team mate for this year will be announced soon.

Thank you for the interest, we look forward to seeing you at race weekends.

If only because they couldn't have worse luck than they did in 2007.
I just watched the races at Croft on DVD today, I had forgotten Stockton had been running as high as 6th at one point and could have finished 4th or 5th had he not been knocked off the track.

I do wonder how much the cars have changed since BTC Racing got them from SpeedEquipe Motorsport.

These cars are compleatly rebuilt from the ground up everything on them has been changed all of the suspention, engine builder, nothing on the cars apart from the shell remains from speedequipe days, this was all done during the season,the guys work on the cars full stop 24/7 every day in 07, and there is only 3 full time people on them. These guys need a turn in the luck stakes and I am sure this week it has happend for them all at BTC.


I can't wait for the press release it will be a shock for many,I know that

Thank you,


Last season was all engine related,

The new driver has won and is at the top of is game, so it will be all good for the guys at BTC they worked very hard last season with very little reward, and they want to do well at it, look at there history they have won at every thing they have done and I am sure they will do it again they had a 3 year plan, and I think they have done very well with non works cars.

But thanks again.

Thats just my thoughts but then I am related to them (It's my DAD)

Just noticed that the Encke Sport astras are 20 grand, must be desperate to sell them.......

Might buy one for club racing

..which we now know is Stuart Oliver. The Press release also answers the question in the tilte of this thread.
