BTCC 2007 - rumours (merged)

TD will not run BTC-Touring Integras.

TD are too big a title contendor to run btc spec cars. They will be racing S200 spec cars for sure.

Any ideas what though?

honda Civic, Honda Accord, BMW 320si, Alfa Romeo 156 and distant chance of Chevrolet Lacetti. Even lower Leon and Vectra. :up:

I was browsing the net and found colin turkington's mg for £75,000 ono.

Just thought you might like to know.

Based upon how difficult the BMW's reportedly are to set up, and the potential availability of them, I doubt TD would use them.

TD built the Integra's that they used for '05 and '06. Are they building their own cars again or buying cars from other series running the S2000 rules?

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).

I think you may have misunderstood me here. I was referring to the fact that WSR must have made some moves about the car they are going to use for next year, not moves as in general testing etc. However it's likely that we will find out at the earliest at the Autosport show. The period just before Christmas is not very popular for announcing next season's plans. We're really in the 'lull' at the moment.

Wonder whose bought the second of the WSR MGs that were put up for sale Initially there were two on offer and now theres only one.

This may be a real stab in the dark but the MG could have gone to someone like Mat Jackson or Tom Onslow Cole?

I don't think so. I don't think anyone wants to buy them because of poor results.
