I thought it would be two Lexuses, Eoin Murray's Alfa, the Enke cars and the extra Arkas car(s) if a driver could come up with enough money

Utter rubbish!!!!

Anyone with the required funds can buy a factory(RML) built chevy and run it in the BTCC.

FACT!

Is CWS Racing still planning to enter Colin White in an Integra and Malcolm Clien in a 307?

Were they actually planning on it? The only quote from White was that he was looking at maybe doing a few races this year if they could strike a deal. Clein tested the 307 but there was never any comment that if he would enter it would be with CWS Racing. I believe the Peugeot 307 is still with Marsh as he tested it last week at Silverstone.

I had a long chat with Colin when he tested the Pug at Silverstone the other week.

He wants to race in the BTCC! He just needs to decide the best options available for him to compete this year.

He wants to do a full season, he is not expecting to win races, more to use it as a stepping stone for 2008!

I know what cars he was looking at and I wish him good luck to him finding a suitable car to run, if he hasn't already decided on something.

Suggestion is Colin will buy both of Marshs BTC-Touring cars. (The Honda Integra & Peugeot 307) Honda for Colin and 307 for fellow CWS driver Malcolm Clien.

Would be nice to see both in the series this year. Its going to start causing some problems grid size wise at some of the shorter tracks though...

I'd be surprised (but not displeased) if the grid got to over 32! There wouldn't be "problems" though; late entrants would get bumped to the back/reserve list.

That was one option!

How about the Maurer run Lacetti that's for sale? It should be cheaper than the other S2000 brands? And perhaps he can share data with the other team and get support from Chevy? They seem like a very suppportive manufacturer to work with?
