Sorry mate, you have to earn respect of your elder VXR Captains before you can rule this forum's posts about touring cars and Vauxhall. You've earnt it though so I challenge you to a KTCC (Keyboard Typing Captain Championship) Same dates as the BTCC AND WTCC. Media day booked here for March 13 :D

what and miss out on all the sexy ladys on the beach topless all summer :eek: :D waiting for some1 to buy them a nice cool drink ;)

So if there has only been one new build- and this was for Mauer, this would explain why Mauer was selling one of their 2005 spec cars. Maybe this could be the one that Clyde Valley want? (or have ?)

Drivers don't tend to last too long on here, which is a shame but at some points you can't blame them.

Yes tell me about it. Used to be fine in the early days when they were shown a bit of respect (well except for Mr Thompson, eh Funks? ;) ), but people are so quick to criticise and bash these days, they don't waste their time. And if you have a go at these people, they come out with the "it's a free country", "it's my opinion and I'm entitled to it" rubbish.

But that's going way off topic. :)

Radders

If you lok on the Green Motorsport website you'll see the comment that the Chevvy's won't race till the end of the season.

While I'm not sure what your background is tdb (you're going to say i work for RML I bet!), but if the above is accurate a customer wouldn't need to place an order yet any way to debut a new chassis at the end of the season and even if CVR have ordered, RML are hardly going to publicise how many cars they've sold before the team running them confirms their plans!
I've just set my self up and will happyily(sp?!) be proved wrong, but at the moment people seem to be making decsions about the team's plans without possession of the full facts. We all know a handy sponsorship deal can change circumstances pretty quickly. I'd really like to see this project come off.
10th February 2007, 16:47

True Radders, a team wouldn't need a car or cars yet if they only intend doing the last round.

No i don't work for RML.

RML have not publicised anything about any of the cars they build for others publicity is not included in the price.

I also hope CVR happens, but at present the "facts" that i am in possesion of suggest very differrent!

after looking on the green motorsport website, where does it actually say anything about them only entering towards the end of the season?

And that exactly the amount of time people on this forum have been talking and arguing about them....

What's the chance of waiting for official confirmation on them entering the BTCC and carrying on by talking about someone else?

i know what u saying but in last 4 weeks cvr has been in lots of press pushing . and unless he wants to look a prat with all the good press he should have it sorted or not be press hopping and hopeing

With Iains suggestion.. Arkas Racing confusion.

The interview on Crash.net says only two cars!

I would expect that Paul is in contention for this drive, after all he does seem to have strong links with Techspeed/ Triple 8. Could Smith be inline for this drive as well though? Surely the links he has with VXR ( and the budget he presumably has) give him the seat?

Also, i've just noticed that Xero Competition seem to have updated their website ( http://www.xero-competition.com/cms/...tpage&Itemid=1 ) recently. It says about them entering the BTCC last season, but makes no reference to this season.......could this mean we may not see them returning?
10th February 2007, 19:23

The Xero website is currently undergoing a major revamp.

Only 100% Confirmed stuff is on there at present.

Deals are being done and several tests are coming up which should see both lexus is200's on track this year.

When it becomes official, i'm sure the driver/s will give you all plenty to talk about!

I heard Adam Jones will be driving for Xero again in 2007..

I agree PDS, let's not bicker about them until some NEWS about them happens, not just the same 4 month old of people stupidly speculating them to be the revelation of 2007 even though no cars, money and drivers.

Sorry to say but your source is incorrect, he won't be driving for Xero in 07 as deals are nearly in place to race in a competitive car and for a team with plenty of "Touring car" experience.
10th February 2007, 22:40
VkmSpouge

Yeah, Jones did say on an interview with crash.net he was not going to be driving with Xero but hopefully moving up the grid with another team.

Any truth in this?:

On the eve of the latest round of the BTCC at Knockhill, Renault confirmed that Kartworld team boss Jason Hughes was one of the latest batch of potential entrants, having put down a deposit for a single car entry for next season.

Yes, Jason Hughes has a Renault Clio - but it is not for his use AFAIK!

Seats open to Adam Jones...

Motorbase Peformance SEAT Toledo Cupra
GR Motorsport SEAT Toledo Cupra
Arkas Racing Techspeed Vauxhall Astra Sport Hatch

Would be the three realistic drives I guess.

I thought Tom Ferrier was going to be the second driver at Motorbase.

Is anyone actually sure that GR will run in the BTCC with the Toledo? I thought they handed them back to Seat.

It's been heavily rumoured. They could buy them back cheap as they have other SEATs
