No offence SEATFreak, but I end up skipping most of your posts when I'm reading a topic because so few of them make any sense...Quote:

No offense taken. I skip posts that clearly are just written because they want to say something negative about the comments I make. :)
In my opinion possibilities for the second Arkas seat are¦
Paul O'Neil
Fiona Leggate
Gareth Howell
Gavin Smith
Tom Ferrier
Nick Leason
Perhaps add Carl Breeze to the list too because he wants to be in the BTCC next year, again could be down to money, so the second Arkas seat could be exactly what he is looking for.Quote:

Carl Breeze wont be racing in the BTCC aless it's with the SEAT works team, And please god no don't let Leggate Near a Vauxhall again.

It is looking pretty good so far. So many teams able to get their plans together before Christmas is good news. Can't wait to see what the new year brings.
There seems to be no second chevy for robertshaw on there either...... :p :
Not forgetting the other likely entriesQuote:

So we're already talking about potentially at least 23 cars alreasy, AND we've still got the Autosport show to come where we usually get a god bunch of drivers/teams confirming their plans.
Things are looking good

If you read the list properly. The A-Tech cars are in the waiting confirmation list!Quote:

As David Pinkney is one of the owners of A-Tech why would he be run as a seperate entry?????Quote:

reckon there is a good chance of seeing Paul Luti out in the dreadnaught MG, Paul has been down at WSR recently. Watch this space
still nothing concrete from Jonathan Adam/TCR, there was a piece in one of the scottish tabloids from Jonathan saything that he wants to do BTCC in 08 but if it doesnt happen he will do SCC again.
BTC Racings website says they're going to announce thier second driver for 2008 soon.
NO!
What it says is:
BTC Racing driver for 2008, is Chris Stockton and watch this space for the details of our second driver.
I don't see the word SOON anywhere in that statement!
I dont think their 2nd driver will be revealed till media day to be honestQuote:

Its great to see the intrest in our team, but we are not in a position to provide any news yet.
It is my poor choice of words on our site, we are working hard on what our arrangements will be for 2008. We do want you all to visit our site and as soon as we are able to announce our final arrangement we will.
We did wait until media day this year!!!!!
It is shaping up for a block buster season in what we consider to be the best race series available.
Roll on March 2008
Will you be doing much testing with the car?
Which car?Quote:
