That was the best picture of an Audi A4 I could find, sorry if the BMW in the background gets in the way.
Whoops. Didn't spot that. However, didn't a 2 door Toyota Corolla appear briefly in the WTCC this year? Or was it the ETC cup thing? Or both?Quote:

Or give it special dispensation.
The Corolla entered both and JAS used to use 3-door Civics before the Accords. Something tells me that Honda Sweden entered a CTR in 2005's WTCC and that GR Asia used Civics in 2004.
Do you remember the green Focusii of 2005 and the one that got written off? they were all 3 doors as were the Focusii of 2005's ETCC at Vallelunga. The 2004 ETCC 307(s) may have been 3 door too.
Quite a few 3 door cars here http://www.fiatouringcars.com/2k4/?c...valencia&id=9#

Some of those are 3 door
tdb your right again, I own the team, and Chris owns a car, as for the second driver, there is lots of guys out there, but as for guys with the money again not that many.So we will have to see who comes up with the £, I can tell you we have 1 of 3 I want to do it Paul Sheard,Darren Dowling,Dan Eves,thats all I can tell you.Quote:

I'm guessing the Corolla was a local homologation thing, like the Audi A4, Lexus IS200, Mercedes C-Klasse, Opel Astra OPC and Renault Megane.
maybe now people will realise that there will be NO clyde valley chevys and dan eaves isnt involved with the team if he is talking to BT96's team about the 2nd car.
Or it could be a back up if Clyde valley don't get the money.
Lots of speculation.Quote:

What do you think?
http://www.smiliegenerator.de/s31/smilies-42503.png
Just found this :D
i really hope its the accord but i can see it being the civic for some reason
I have to say that the wiki page for 2007 seems to be a good source of info for next season. All of the things on it's list now have sources for where they come from, so I would say this is pretty reliable information ( unlike it used to be !) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_BTCC_season
Well its a good source of what rumours and reports there have been over the past few months.
I think they'll use a car with four wheels (not including the steering wheel). This unfortunately rules out the much vaunted Team Halfords Reliant Robin.
I think the Accord. The Civic is too new I would say but it might make an appearence next year.(I hope)
I am interested in the note about Richard Marsh!
He intends to enter next season and will team-up with another driver from the 2006 BTCC.
It is also mentioned on Motorsportpedia as well..
Richard Marsh has bought Dave Pinkney's Honda Integra Type R and will team-up with another driver in 2007.
Him and Mike Jordan together possibly?
You wouldn't believe the drivers that have contacted Motorbase looking for a drive in 2007!Quote:

There will be 3 Motorbase SEATs according to the teams own website.Quote:

SEAT didn't take a risk with the Leon. It had been well tested in the WTCC in the second-half of 2005.
What I'm getting at is that no matter what car - its always a risk when choosing a new car.

Who knows? Just have to wait for an official press release from the team. That said I would like to see the little Peugeot 307 tootling around next year.
Actually the team's website seems somewhat confused about it. In the initial press release about the purchase of the Toledos they clearly state two cars ex-Pickford and ex-Hines. In the release about the race meeting at Silverstone it's suddenly up to three cars. In their season review it's back down to two cars.Quote:

Well I guess we won't know until any of these rumours are cleared up at the Autosport shoe and beyond. That way all the apparent definite no-shows will be ruled out completely.
We won't know whose going to show up or not in 2007 until October 13 2007!
I remember reading on Ten Tenths that many drivers want to drive the Peugeot 307.Quote:

Exactly what it says. Not the Honda or the Pug.. But it will be a S2000 specQuote:

You obviously noticed the typo and changed the post so it didn't get mocked by loads of people. Good thinking - it happened to me - search orse :uhoh:
BTW someone seams adament that Dynamics will build Civics for 2007. Look at the Motorsportpedia 2007 BTCC season article.
Could you narrow it down a bit as there are loads of different S2000 cars. *Prays 'Please don't be a LADA, please don't be a LADA'*Quote:
