Xero Competition have released a picture of some Lexus bodywork that is yellow and green. Touringcartimes.com recently put a couple of pictures of Xero's yellow and blue Lexus on their website which you can just about see the design of the driver's helmet which look quite like Nick Adcock. However Adcock appears to be doing the Clios this year, so might have been merely testing the Lexus.Quote:

Only time will tell!Quote:

Maybe he's doing both series or neither and it's a red herring. :p :
I'm sure all will be revealed eventually!
Its all very exciting, lets hope its two more lexus on the grid
So how many extra entries are we looking at here? I was kind of hoping that someone would buy the ex-Johan Stureson Peugeot 407 that is for sale in Autosport, but that won't happen now. So will it be just Xero then?
Not really an extra entry as such, but Gareth Howell will be filling in at BTC when their regular drivers have other committments.
There is a couple of clashes with the trucks and the BTCC for Stuart Oliver isn't there?
Near the end of last season it was almost certain that James Kaye would be back on the grid in 2008. I would love to know what happened to that deal. :-(
the last I heard he is too busy to race
The green looked like masking tape/sticker material to me....Quote:

Well it says "the Lexus is still some way off", so does that mean we won't be seeing it for quite a while yet?
If Nick Adcock was meant to be one of their drivers that would explain why they aren't running one of their cars but Xero Competition had been planning on running two Lexus IS200s, so surely their second driver would have been paying for their ride too?
TBD said they would deffinatly be at brands.... Are they in the stands or something then ? I dont think anyone is going to enter with them at all this year, they just arent quick enough... Its a shame, maybe they will enter half way, or nearer the end of the season, but wouldnt expect much.
To be fair we haven't seen Xero Competition race its Lexus IS200s since 2006, we simply don't know how quick they will be. All we have got to go on is what Nick Adcock said.Quote:

Just read on another forum that Ian court may be joining the btcc from oulton park onwards in a Alfa Romeo 156/Seat Toledo in preparation to completing a full campain next year!!
Very interesting, will have to wait and see!!
Has anyone heard any further news on how the development on the BMW 1 series of Kerry and Leason is going and whther they will be joing this season?
With BTC Racing having acquired Motorbase's Toledo's that leaves the GR Asia one from last year and I'm sure there must be another one somewhere.Quote:

Could that explain why Jason hasn't got his Integra yet?
It's hardly had time to 'not really work out'- a pair of non-starts at the first meeting at Oulton after the car ended free practice stuck in the wall, and Jason Templeman took over from Pinkney for Knockhill.Quote:
