Erkut is tied in with 888, so I can't see him going with the Alfa's! ;)

Why would he get money from Opel Turkey To drive a Vauxhall Badged car in a British Series?

Unless the BTCC is broadcasted and popular in Turkey? :confused:

It was for development of his skill?

He still runs in the Turkish Championship when he can right?

Yes - he won the first two races of the 2007 Turkish Touring Car Championship.

Diesel Leons

Can we not assume Seat will run the Diesel so they can be the only competitive diesel on the grid and hence press for rule changes whenever they dont win? Afterall, that does seem to be their tactic when things dont go their way, moan about the cars not being equal (even though if you ask me, if you choose to run a brick on wheels for marketing purposes you dont deserve to win races).

I do see for the Seat guys though, cos the factory must be under pretty big pressure to take to drivers title...

Love to see Adam get a Seat ride with JP. Mr Grumpy has been a nice addition to the BTCC grid, but you can tell his heart isn't in Touring Car racing.
