SAIC have only bought design rights to some of the old Rover range.
Its confusing, but please get your facts right.
Nanjing are seriously interested in MG's history and in particular the racing side of things. Don't count out a return in the not to distant future.
its all gone very quiet on the rumours front, i can't see us getting much more confirmed now before the media day.
hopefully we may get more updates from teams we know are working on cars for this year, but can anyone actually see any new teams cropping up before the 1st race, even after the rumours on Clyde Valley, GR Asia etc etc.
plus no new news on Pinkney/Marsh, Kartworld, MG's.
anyone out there got any leads?
Elgh Motorsport from Sweden have their car in the UK and it's for sale after RAC used it at Autosport
Online translation. Yes the agrees. The is in England. First on Birmingham M-show [Autosport]. Elgh Motorsport is where now for physicals [testing] and the [car] perhaps stays where has for gone [England]. The [car]; exists [a] few [potential buyers]; for sale and more spekulanter presently. /Calle
Well they plan to re-launch the MG brand commercially in July if thats any help..... Read it in Marketing press few months ago as the Dutch receiver still owns rights to use the brand (well still did).Quote:

good to see him make the grid, interesting how many BMWs are appearing now given the conventional wisdom that they won't work in the UK - i think maybe this season that myth may be blown away, or there will be a lot of head scratching as to why they don't go well on UK tracks
It was talked about at the Autosport show!Quote:

by deafult you needn't do badly in a BMW as there are so many of them to race against if your in one. i personally don't believe they are as bad as we've been led to believe over the last couple of years. a good racing car doesn't suddenly become a bad one, although i do agree that perhaps they aren't at their best on some UK circuits.Quote:

as for GSR and Martyn Bell i hope they show better than last year, i would hope last year they spent learning the car and the cahmpionship and that experience should see them move up the grid.
like you i do expect the midfield to be packed with BMWs, not the class of the field, but will beat some of the privateers, and most of the BTC crowd, on a normal day
I don't think you can use Martin Bells performances(or Lack of) as a yardstickQuote:

I wonder if the Jacksons and RAC will share set-up data or even work together like the RAC/Kartworld set-up this year.Quote:

captain 1 vxr:CORRECT.
give away info that has just cost a considerable amount? no way.
want to WIN
mad monk ..
i say the only time u give info away if both teams were over 1.5 sec off the pace then maybe u try to work out what it is thats wrong but normaly only give away 1/2 the info u need to ...
we did this with the astra gsi we ran in nscc . . but we were both one car team and we only gave away a little info we needed .
have I missed something?? has Matt Jackon got a car for 2007??
jackson got andys bmw wtcc 06 car
Whose cars have WSR got?
WSR have new builds
Autosport today reports that Clyde Valley Racing will enter a Chevrolet Lacetti for Dan Eaves in the BTCC this year.
The team are in the process of finalising their commercial partnerships for the year and a formula announcement of the program is imminent.
i still cant see this clyde valley thing coming off there has been so much talk about it.
I think the words used were "still aiming to enter" - nothing set in stone yet at all!Quote:

I'll believe it when I see Eaves driving a TCVR Chevy.Quote:

Be careful what you say, someone last year said they would run through their town naked if Super Aguri were on the grid at the 2006 Bahrain Grand Prix...Quote:

so captain VXR soils his pants and eats them :D :D
the fact that they are still trying to whip up interest through the media, despite only "still intending to enter", as well as having commercial partnerships to finalise indicates to me that they still don't have the sponsorship/funding in place to get on the grid and that they are trying to keep interest up in order to help get that final commercial partnership.
i'd love to see Dan in the Chevrolet this season, but the longer the hype continues with little or no actual confirmed details the less i am inclined to believe it will happen
I'm surprised Dan hasn't signed for another team by now.
Oi, we want that less likely to happen :p . Dan Eaves, if you are reading this please join West Suffolk Racing in a second 1-Series as that's far more likely to happen and I won't have to eat **** :D .Quote:
