I never saw or heard them being called 'Holiday Inn Vectras' anywhere.

I'll wait until they have collected their racecars before I make any verdict on this one.

Same here.. The only difference between now and first time around is that they have named the sponsor..... which knowing the company, somewhat surprises me!

Seems that Carbon Zero Racing have a website as well http://cartridgeworldcarbonzeroracing.co.uk/ . Quite a few sponsors as well........ Also some big names in Dan Eaves and Doug Bebb- would both of these guys be involved with something that wasn't going to happen?

edited to add: would Eaves still want his name to be associated with this project if it was non-starter? If he has the faith in it, then I don't see why us fans should either.....

The website is wrong, it says Dan Eaves is a 'BTCC Independent Champion' when it was only the Independent teams championship he won with Mr Neal

Unfortunately your wrong here. Dan won the Independents Championship in 2002 driving for VLR/Team Halfords in a Peugeot 406 Coupe

You've got to admit, Team CVR have possibly the best looking BTCC team website... (not that this means anything!)

Bring e'm all on !!! Come on new team's.... Catch me if you can !!!

VAUXHALL RULE'S

Your right, I was thinking that 2002 was a factory effort then VLR went independent with the 307
