Isn't it slightly ironic that a perfectly good car in the MG has been replaced by a BMW?
EDIT: Just realised, all we need is Rick Kerry to paint his 1-Series Orange and we have 3 orange BMWs run by a team that shortens to WSR! This is gonna get confusing i think

888 said they sold three cars. Can you not count? :p
25+ cars if all of them showed up at a single race? It would be interesting to see how many would show up on a regular race. I recall the NATCC would have numbered like 20 cars if all of them showed up, but only averaged 10 as cars disappeared/reappeared due to budgets.Quote:

As i wrote in a previous post Adam Jones has no plans to race in a Lexus next seasonQuote:

Mark Smith will use his current car (it's at the show) as will Nick Leason
Enckle sport will run 2 cars,again Jones and O'neil are in the frame for that
Question. What will happen to the techspeed Astra coupe now? That would be a great car for a newcomer to use
oooh that team RAC beemer is sexy!!
So far BMW's in the recent BTCC have been a disaster, will the change to S2000 really make a difference?
Main problem has been tyres. I'm sure with the prospect of more of them coming in, Dunlop will be making a big effort to tune the tyres to the RWD cars such as the BMWs and the Lexuses.
Does anyone know about the spec of WTCC tyres are they really that different to the Dunlops?
Agreed, he certainly didn't disgrace himself.Quote:

I meant to add I hope to speak to Nick Leason tomorrow and see what his latest plans are. Update when I get it!
WSR looking good for next year then, serious contenders.
Car looks good and with two quick drivers its looking good for them.
Anyone know if there 07 cars or some of last years?
Thought I read somewhere that they were 06 cars.
I don't like to brag, but man I'm good! Mystic Meg move over love...Quote:

I'll save you the time - working hard on the BTCC for 2007. He may spring a few shocks as other things are also progressing well.Quote:

2 semi-works Alfa's in the BTCC that will good, also a team to run the BMW's how they should be run.
Whats this about the semi-works Alfas? Any clues?
thought you knew it all AlfaFan????
The semi-works thing is such old news, this and btcc forums are littered with clues!
Would you mind refreshing my memory?
But then that'll jog your memory and you'll pass the news off as your own elsewhere, claiming that a contact told you this and that. ;)
lol - either you know or you don't - and if its as obvious as you make it seem, then lots of people know, so just post who it is!
well, Johnathan, read what i have posted here and elsewhere and see if 2+2 makes 4, not 5 like it normally does for you!
As someone who professes to know so much, it shouldn't be too hard to figure out.
you should know by now that i only post facts as i know them.
when they are 100% confirmed then i post them as such!
My only guess is its related to the story about Dave Pinkney in MN last week, but that could be miles off.
Besides the forum being littered with clues as tcp (sorry tdb) say's I told you the answer in my last postQuote:

I understand that they are recieving technical help from N-technology and will be distributor of Alfa parts for the UK
i've read somewhere that they're brand new built 07 spec carsQuote:

C'mon, say it: "I believe that Team Griffin/Farecla will be running a semi-works Alfa Romeo 156 team in 2007, with Marsh and Pinkney driving, according to my contact." ;)Quote:

at the time, it was not knowledge that WSR had BMW's, everyone assumed they did but the news was not released. now it is confirmed (and very nice it looks too)
i said Kartworld probably have a couple of S2000 cars, as people think, again it is not confirmed, even if you KNOW this to be fact. i imagine they have and that they could well be Seats or Alfa's, i have seen both rumoured
Motorbase, Eurotech and GSR are all in the list, the complete details of their entires are still up for devabte as to number of cars etc.
Synchro i did not know, that piece of news passed me by, sorry for including them.
Mark Smith news had been thin on the ground, apparantley until today, glad to see him back again.
all i was doing was summarising the thread and relegating some of the more far fetched or disputed rumours. i thought this might be a nice idea the day before the Autosport show started confirming things we still didn't know, but apparently not
so if Marsh is now running and semi-works Alfa with Pinkney in a new team, where does that leave the Integra he bought?
Sold on perhaps?
Drivers in contention at Encke Sport
- Ed Tilley
- Adam Jones
- Dan Buxton
- Nick Beaumont
I can't see Adam Jones being with the team, think him/Xero/Lexus is more likely. My guess would be Dan Buxton & Nick Beaumont as the first two drivers, and Ed Tilley in a third car if they have the budget.
Source?
And, they have said. AND people on here have repetedley said they are only going to be running 2 cars.
Autosport.
Alfa fan,no offence but how many times do you need to be told Adam Jones will NOT be racing in a Xero/LexusQuote:

His website says he has 3 options - 2 with Super 2000 teams (one of them possibly Xero) and 1 with a BTC-Touring team.
Unless your willing categorically state otherwise, thats what I'm believing.
I don't think Adam Jones would opt to drive for Encke Sport. I mean no offence to Encke but there have to be some drives available at a team which will be closer to the front of the grid. That said I think Encke would pull off a small coup getting Danny Buxton and Nick Beaumont to be their drivers.
