yeah, he's here to learn though. I think he's got a good chance of some reasonable results against the drivers we've had announced so far.
I just hope Paul O'Neill gets the second seat, otherwise its looking like somewhat of a walkover for Mike Jordan (no disrespect to John George, but its his first season in a "proper" car)
PS - I'm talking about the BTC Spec cars group here
Kartworld will be out and will run the MG for this year but 2 VERY GOOD S2000 cars from them in 08 is expected though ! So you can add Jason to the list.
SEAT Leons I guess for 2008?
You're trying to guess what car a privateer team will race 14 months from now? It just seems a little bit futile.
Well, very good Super 2000 cars could only really mean BMWs or SEATs. And as BMWs are not rated as particularly good on UK tracks, for racer77 to say VERY good I would guess they were SEATs.
This year really is shaping up to eclipse even last year (which was superb) with the independant teams starting to confirm their plans. I think it's great that people like Rik Kerry and Jim Pocklington are coming in from club racing, but it's good to see some of the top talent from the TOCA support package, Tom Onslow-Cole and Matt Jackson, having the chance to shine this year in proven cars. Roll on Brands Hatch.
Is it the same MG that he had in 2006 or is it a Team RAC car from last year?Quote:

As far as all this about BMWs not being any good in this country we will see in a couple of months wont we remember that a properly run (SET UP)S2000 BMW has yet to appear in BTCC there is three very good drivers in them and I am sure they will be very competitive. Thats the word coming from munich or they would not be seriously evaluating a works backed team in 2008 if not.
So the Matt Jackson news is now confirmed on btcc.net . Apparantly the car is being launced today and tested next week at Oulton Park ( so I suppose he is getting a head start on team RAC!)
Well he is except his is a year old car and RAC's will be 2007 spec AFAIK. :)
