I read the Leason story on crash but I wouldn't say it was 100% sure:
"Although things could change, the current plan is to race the Astra again and Leason said he was looking to get points on the board early in the season when some of the S2000 drivers might encounter problems."
Not announced yet..Quote:

The tension is rising, definitly another press release soon... :DQuote:

What of Rick Kerry's West Suffolk Racing and the teams diesel powered BMW 1-series?
Have they withdrawn? I have not seen them mentioned anywhere.
Probably too busy fitting the internals to post on forums.
Also, like most of the Independants trying to put the money together
It was #4.Quote:

It had #11 on the other side of it though
Like the number on the Team RAC 320si though, usually the numbers mean squat outside of the BTCC. That is the beauty with the BTCC. Nothing is as it seems.
I predict Jase will either have #2 or retain #4 from last season and Darren will either take Thommo's #14 or retain #24 from last season.
It has already been said that Turner will not use #24!Quote:

Some of you may know otherwise.
I predict Plato will use 2 and Darren 12, a difference of 10 like last year.
Those numbers do mean something though on the SEAT, as Plato did run 4 last year........Quote:

I don't get the big fuss about numbers anyway. :confused:
maybe they will now do this
1/2 = TD
3/4 = SEAT SPORT UK
5/6 = RAC
7/8 = VX RACING
or something like that...
The numbers 1-10 are given to the top 10 from the previous season.
It had a 4 on that side as well at one point.....Quote:

This picture and the previous one I posted are from the seat sport website. Myabe the numbers were changed at some point over the show?
That's funny, my pictures show 11 on the left side so SEAT must have changed them at some point :confused:

I'm sure that will be news to Mr Bartrum!Quote:

Is that incorrect?
Indeed their own website suggests that, although now the 3rd car isn't expected to run until later in the season:
"The Wrotham-based team is working towards signing a team-mate for Howell and may even run a third Toledo later in the season, such are its plans to establish itself as a main player within Britain's leading motor racing championship."
So it can't really be news to Mr Bartrum as you put it! :)
I think the word is 'may'! No not the month!Quote:

Judging by the first post (don't have time to read through the rest yet) the entry list is looking good. And I had totally forgotten that teams would be using S2000 cars this year. It should be a nice change for the BTCC grid.
is everyone forgettign eoin murry
source http://www.gamotorsport.co.uk/
"For next season we are planning to run 2 Alfa 156 N Technology cars. Eoin Murray will be driving one car while the other driver has yet to be finalised."
No, because on crash.net Murray said that even he wasn't sure he would make it this year due to funding, but hopefully he should do.
Hopefully Murray will be there even if we don't get a 2nd 156.
With regards to SEATs numbers, they could use #2 and Thommo's #6? As long as they're there, I'm not really bothered though.
They'd probably have to use #14 (DT's finishing position) but I think they can request another number, ie 6.
Could be 2 & 12, like last year it was 4, 14 & 24.
If nobody claims their top 10 number, then someone else is able to take it. For example Tom Chilton ran number 7 in 2003 and Colin Turkington 5 when they finished outside the top 10 in 2002.
Well, in the top 10 from last year only Rob (Collard) who finished 9th, Thommo who finished 6th and and Gavin (Smith) who finished 8th look like there not running this year. So does that mean 6#, #9 and #8 are vacant and can be taken by anyone?.
Who's to say Collard and Smith are not coming back in 2007?Quote:

Can we even trust the entry list? Teams could pay the entry fee that allows their name to be printed, but not show up for a single race?Quote:
