Ah, but if we get it right will you/they let us know, or will we be left to degenerate into further mindless rumourmongering...

...I (completely) guess it involves Saabs. Just because it's probably the only manufacturer not mentioned on this thread so far. With, hm, Vic Lee running it. How wrong could that be?

Notice, the word MANUFACTURER does not appear in this statement!

The word is TEAM!

I very much doubt it!

If AA are sponsoring, then they have budget to buy cars... good cars, which would challenge. Then they would need 2 experienced drivers.

1 of 3 - take your pick
TD - Are Halfords still are kinda linked to AA (workshops etc) would make sense
Kartworld - Rumours at Seat or Alfa's
Pinkey's New Team - some are very confident that they will have S2000 cars

My Money is on TD..... but I just have this feeling about Kartworld.

Am I anywhere near?

im gonna go with one guess for this aa team:
arena motorsport with bmws

His website says he has 3 options - 2 with Super 2000 teams (one of them possibly Xero) and 1 with a BTC-Touring team.

Unless your willing categorically state otherwise, thats what I'm believing.

I am categorically stating that Adam will not be racing with Xero,He told me himself,it doesn't have to be in a magazine to be true! He has been talking to Encke,but they where not the BTCC team mentioned on his web site.At the moment he has had an offer that is overwhelmingly better that any of the others,but needs more money than he has at the moment.so first priority is to raise that money.If that can't be done then he has the other options to go to.one way or another he will be racing in 2007 but it won't be with Xero

Funny, thats who I was going to guess too.

i'm sure i remember seeing something about there definatley going to be some yellow on (private) Seats this year, but i imagine the mystery Alfa team running with Pinkney to be the top contender, unless its completely left field and we have no clues at all

I'd say either Arena's BMW's or Pinkneys new team... would make sense if they have a major sponsor that they could finance setting up a new team for the season.
Good to add to the list, that we now have Mark Smith in his Alfa & Gareth Howell at Motorbase

I say Arena BMWs. The battle of the recovery team BMWs :cool:
