Any particular reason why those five rounds, as they are not consectutive meetings?
Is Vida motorsport located somewhere central to these five circuits..?
Probably, looking at it they are missing out the far away ones
Brands
Thruxton
Snetterton
Knockhill
All are good enough at the edge of the country, those announced above are good enough all in the middle, with the exception of Croft, but its not too far up the A1
Maybe the team is also in another championship which clashes with the other events.
"Cheap", well the cars maybe, but have had no development for years.Quote:

"Proven" quite some time ago now and things have moved on a long way.
The only BTC spec car that is anywhere near competitive is the integra but only in the right hands.
And if someone is in a position to afford VXR support, why go for "cheap"?
Just my opinion, but i think the money would be better spent on another car or maybe even elsewhere.
There are certainly better cars out there, one of those Motorbase Toledos would have been a nice buy. I don't think the Vauxhall Astra coupé will necessarily be a bad choice just maybe not the best one. Lets hear what Vida Motorsport has to say about it, I'm sure he/she has their reasons. I'm also interested (in a purely anorak basis) which Vauxhall Astra coupé they have gone for.
Also it would be nice to know who they are? For all we know it could be a wind-up!
What have we been told? That someone has bought a Astra Coupe, when there are far betters around, and they will be racing it at selected rounds!
Who has bought it?
Who is running it?
Who will race it?
Why only selected rounds?
Sounds like a wind-up to me! ... Prove me wrong!!!
Reliable - I think "sturdy" is a word that should be considered! Muller and Plato proved that the Astra's are harder than rock, not what I'd say about most Super 2000 cars - maybe their driver is a bit rough on the equipment!Quote:
