TouringCarTimes.com is reporting that CMS Motorsport is looking at joining the BTCC this year but they are currently lacking drivers with "sensible budgets" according to team boss Malcolm Cleland. In other words they don't have the cash yet.

Apparantly the second BTC Racing driver is ex-truck racer Stuart Oliver.
The article kinda contradicts itself, saying that they wish to enter the BTCC in 2008 and then in the final paragraph it says they are racing in the SCC which is where the team want to be.Quote:

the "where Malcolm Cleland wants to be" statement referring to the second championship mentioned, the BTCC.
My mistake, sorry guys!
Just to clarify this was a rumour I saw on Wikipedia. I checked the name and it seemed to fit the hints given on another forum, you can probabily guess which one.Quote:
