Jonathan Adam looks set to move up to the BTCC racing a SEAT Leon TDI, providing he can find the addional sponsorship required to run the car. He's testing the car on Monday at Silverstone.
The full article on Knockhill.com said moving up with Total Control Racing. TCR are a great team and previous BTCC Independents' champions in their previous guise of Brookes Motorsport. I really hope Jonathan Adam can make the step up, I'm sure he'd make a very good touring car driver.
The top four finishers in the SCC are all testing on MondayQuote:

Will anyone genuinely want that car? Personally I'd choose a petrol Leon over the TDi.
Considering the performance of the TDi it would be a gamble worth taking. It had its reliability problems but the car was very dominant in the second half of the year.
It's about time that Adam was in the BTCC!
I agree, and was a bit surprised to hear that GR had all but ruled out using the TDi for that very reason.Quote:

hope he can get some sponsorship to get out there

The test at Silverstone tomorrow is to reward the drivers that have took wins in the SCC. I think there are four different drivers testing the TDI...
