Thats where I thought she'd end up, but seemingly not from what you've posted. I read something elsewhere, can't recall where atm, saying she'd be racing another of the Honda Integras.

How many Integras are left? Neal's 05 car is still with Jordan, Shedden's '05 is now presumably with Colin White via Pinkney, John George has Neal's '06 machine and Sibsport have Howell's '06 car. Presumably Howell's '05 was developed for 2006, leaving just the one (Shedden '06) Integra left? Is that right?

Eaves' 05 car presumably with Colin White via Pinkney. Don't forget poor Dan. ;)

5 cars built, 1 left. Well that's what we think we know anyway! Could be a lot going on behind closed doors that we don't know about.

When/If Darrele races in BTCC it won't be in Mark's Alfa.
The decision for Mark to go racing is purely dependent on sponsorship and at the moment he doesn't have any

There'd better be an integra left as the Brands Hatch site says Neal will be doing demo laps in it at the open day in a weeks time! (14th) Unless they bring the Civic down which would be v nice.

Looking more forward to seeing the A4 DTM and Priualx's new 320si anyway. Chances are Matt won't finish a demo lap, he'll either end up in Paddock or Druids gravel.

Dynamics have a road-legal Integra mocked up to look like the BTCC racer - if all the cars have been sold the demo laps may be in the mockup!

I see it as this

*Last year the team said they wanted to run 2/3 BMWs in 2007
*Martyn Bell confirmed as returning in his 320i E46 with the team
*Also stated that there was lots of exciting developments in the near future
*btcc.net article has also recently hinted at two cars for GSR
*MN did show two GSR cars in their entry list

they are definateley running one car, everything esle has hinted tyhat they may run a second and evn 3rd car, maybe this year, maybe next.

the latest article from Martyn Bell states he reckons he'll be pushing the top ten this year with the improved set-up and improvements they've made (crash.net), but no more news on any extra cars, for me there are a lot more definite entries still lacking confirmed drivers ahead of any extra GSR BMW's...that is not to say it definatley won't happen, but i would include in the "unlikely" list for now
