BTCC 2007 - rumours (merged)

So concievably we could have 4 teams running 6 156's between them if all the reports relating to the car comes true.

In-Front Motorsport/Mark Smith who will seem to have Eoin Murray's Quest Racing 156, Quest Racing with two former N.Technology 156's with Eoin Murray and an un-named Driver, Dave Pinkney and Kartworld running two with Jason Hughes and an un-named Driver.

Appoligies if it has been mentioned already but where is Dave Pinkney and especially Kartworld as they are looking at two from the WTCC (when Quest are also looking at two N.Technology 156's), looking at getting the cars from? I see DB Motorsport run two 156's.

Sorry Seatfreak, Do you mean David Pinkney is running two cars? or do you mean Pinkney and Kartworld total two??

I dont understand your comment, can you explain what you mean?

He could get dispensation like the WTCC Toyota which contested one race. John George had a 3-door Civic Type-R which was S2000 so he must have got dispensation.

I think he means one for Dave, two for Kartworld. Dave could be joining either Kartworld or Quest as they are going to run two. Mark Smith's Alfa and the STCC one could have been bought.
Quest 1 2005 spec, one 2006
In Front same as this year just with upgrades
Kartworld 2 2006
Dave ex STCC
That's my guess
Anyone know if Mark's car is an updated GTA or a newer one?

That means that there may be a spare seat at Motorbase if Tom Ferrier gets the first one. What are the chances that James Pickford could get the second SEAT on account of the fact he has had previous experience in the car.

So far in this off-season I've heard that Mark Smith is
1). Planning to buy a new car
2). That he's planning to run the Alfa he had this year
3). That he's not going to run at all.
The old rumour mill has been spinning around so much with Mark Smith.

Not entirely sure where the "Pinkney buying a 156" rumour has appeared from.

It's always interesting to see how rumours develop over time as boredom takes hold with fans deprived of real news. Can't wait for the Autosport Show in a few weeks so (hopefully) we can have some real news to digest rather than these shadows.

I questionned the "Pinkney Alfa 156" rumour as well because it just appeared from nowhere and everyone seems to think it is going to happen. I'm just going to wait until the autosport show when some of the rumours are put to rest.

Also I am wondering whether WSR have bought some replacements or have sold their MGs because their advert in Autosport has gone.

I reckon a lot of these 'rumours' are speculation. Still fun though.
