BTCC 2007 - rumours (merged)

My initial thought was that they would go to Sweden to get some cars for next year Eg. Peugeot 407s or Audi A4s but now I am not so sure.

For the development of a new car WSR have surely made some moves by now if they are to be in the BTCC for '07.

But have Vauxhall or Dynamics had any testing yet??
I think the BMW 1-series internals will have arrived by now as I remember RacerM5 saying they would arrive first week December.
The only person to have tested to my knowledge is John George.
WSR may well have already conducted private testswithout anyones knowledge and may well have some new touring cars in RAC colours. I do not remember them testing prior to the 2006 media day - the only teams that did so were VXRacing, Eurotech, Motorbase and Team Dynamics (that I remember).

VX-racing will show off a vectra-based s2000 car at the autosport show, presumably before heading off to Spain for testing. Remember that motorbase kind of tested their 2007 cars by running ferrier at silverstone, as have seat by running leons for the whole of last season.
I remeber that the first everyone knew about wsr's plans last season were when people saw autosport the day that there plans were anounced at the Autosport show. I can see this being quite a BTCC filled event this year...

BTCC and Drift filled -look out for HKS Europe and EDC. If a test can be entering a race or two, how about BTC Racing and Daniels...
I really want to go to Autosport show, the entry price is worth it to see the new S2000 Vectra. A lot of BTCC announcments may be made like this year.
Will Dynamics and WSR be present???

lol a Vectra, like the one in DTM the previous year, the Playboy one !

I would expect Team Rac, Team Halfords, VXRacing and Seat to be there. Last year I think that eurotech were there, and so was Leggate. Its from the Autosport show that a lot of the rumours start turning into facts.

for the 2007 season the BTCC will apply the S2000 regulation, so what about the older cars BTC, could they score points for the championships (drivers and temas) ?? as many privateers couldn't offrod a BMW 320si, an Alfa 156, or a Seat Leon
:cool:

It's already been confirmed (quite some time ago now) that those running BTC-T spec cars will only be eligible to challenge for the teams (outright) championship and also the independent drivers and teams titles. The drivers and manufacturers championships can only be won by a driver or manufacturer using S2000 machinery.

so if team Hallfords, continue with the Integra, both Matt Neil and Gordon Shedden could not be champions :D
