I think its a good move by the team, no point pottering around at the back with very old machinery. Will be interesting to see what cars they go for.
So I guess their Astra(s) will be up for sale then? So the starting grid is starting to get a bit shaky in terms of participation? I hope they can race mid-season. :(Quote:

Who would seriously want to race in the 4/5 year old Astra Coupes in 27th and 28th place?
Something that was mentioned by many when they first announced their intentions!Quote:

I would estimate significantly less than that.
