The closer we get to the Media day, I would say you will be right!

http://www.btcc.net/html/generalnews_detail.php?id=1266
Adam Jones Clyde Valley Racing SEAT Leon
http://www.btcc.net/html/generalnews_detail.php?id=1266
So 14 fully confirmed entries so far.
Looking good so far. Clyde Valley should be pretty strong with that driver line up :D
Fantastic news about CVR - I will be cheering Dan along, even if he is driving a SEAT!!!! Dan has been out of the BTCC for far too long, and Adam is a front-leading Independent driver. I just hope the Leons are competitive with the front of the field.
I certainly hope to see the team challenging for the Independent drivers (fingers crossed!), and also in the running in the main competitions.
I get the feeling that Adam Jones first win wont be too far away.
we could be looking at a 18+ car grid for this year - Great!
Woo so after the first corner we'll have at least 10 cars still racing! :D
Might be more, This weeks autosport are saying that WSR still want to run a 3rd car.Quote:

I'd say we're going to get at least 22.
I wouldn't quite say that...Quote:

I'm still waiting for official confirmation on an all female team for 2009:
Female driver, female crew members.
I'm not joking either!

Except that it's more likely to be in British GT's now rather than BTCC. Assuming we're talking about the same one!Quote:

Not coming out to play this year! http://www.btcracing.co.uk/
Sold their cars to Liam McMillan and have no new toys to play with.
Am I reading too much into this, but BTC has/d 2 Toledos, Liam McMillan has 1, and that website definately says cars.Quote:

Liam MacMillan took all 3.
Wow thats some family team then........
All 3? don't you mean two or am I missing somthing here?
And what is Team AFM's excuse for not entering yet?
Sad to here this, I thought Stockton did a pretty good job when the cars were running right :(
Yeah BTC had two, they are listed on the website as for sale (£29,500 each)Quote:

Ah, Right cheers - Why does it take 3 Toldeos to run one guy?
ONE WORD - MOTORBASE....
any news about Jason Plato?
We have our first picture of the Arena Ford Focus
http://www.btcc.net/html/generalnews_detail.php?id=1273
I think it looks pretty good!
The article says that they have 14 days of testing planned before the season opener! That's a busy schedule!
Can't afford to buy enough paint to do the whole car!
looks alot like the original works focus saloon design.
good to see it on track a last.
It somehow doesn't look right though. maybe its just the paint job but I could swear the front looks wrong.
Its the lower splitter, looks like an aftermarket add-on.
Apart from that, they've done a great job.
Anyone got any pictures of the works Focus?
Have they copied parts from the factory version?
The car looks great, just hope they come up with a better paint job lol :p
its also a shame the the wheels look a bit small on it and its in the same paint job that ford used to release the Focus WRC in 2005/06
No indication this way to who their sponsor is...
There's some sponsor logos on TC's helmet and race overalls. Nothing that unexpected though.Quote:
