Air Cool are GR Asia - not Xero. Air Cool are Adams personal sponsor.
It's actually just GR in BTCC 2007 though.

Did the organ grinder himself ever say they would enter?Quote:

Hopefully he'll be on soon to explain the situation with Xero and why they haven't entered.
see Xero thread.
A-Tech racing have had their Alfa 156s delivered ready for them to test next week.

It has just been confirmed that you will NOT see Rob Collard in the BTCC this year!
He has joined Parker Racing to contest the Porsche Carrera Cup GB.
which he was out testing at Snetterton on Thursday on the Porsche media/testing dayQuote:

Good luck, Eoin! :D
so how comes he wasnt going round on the media day ???
and also has he been testing much?
not sure why he didn't want to be there himself but his car was the one that Atech showed off ( as their cars were still in Italy at the time)
He has a tight tight budget.
Media day was obviously seen as an unneccessary expense.
Was probabily more worthwhile for him to lend his 156 to A-Tech, presumably at a charge to A-Tech!
At least if he starts the season and shows the kind of form he had last year, you would hope he might pick up a couple of sponsors along the way. Hope he has a good year, he's a future BTCC star for sure!
I don't think I saw this mentioned anywhere else, but Adam Jones will miss the first Thruxton round, Croft and Snetterton.
why is that? GT commitments or something? or has he got a lot of weddings to attend this year?
Clashes with WTCC where GR Asia have commitments
Why was this not announced at Media Day ???
It was in the teams press release that they would only be able to do the meetings where there was no clash - the focus has been more on the fact that the team will be there rather than they will have to miss a few races.
Shame Jones won't be able to do the whole year but I can understand that GR's priority is rightly the WTCC.
Didn't realise that, gutted!! But it's better than him not being there at all!
And I think that Tyreman2 will confirm, if he had not have a sponsor back out at the last moment, he would have put a deal together to do the whole championship!
But as you say let's hope Adam can do as many as possible!
OTOH, if he doesn't have a full season's worth of sponsorship money, perhaps these 3 meeting breaks gives him some breathing room? IE: It's works to his favour.Quote:

It would be good to see Adam do the whole series. If something could be arranged!
I don't see the issue. Adam obviously hopes to do those extra 3 meetings, and I said Adam was hoping to do the extra 3 meetings!!
You said 'WORKING ON A DEAL' not 'HOPING' to strike a deal!Quote:

Same thing??? Your spliting hairs! If he is hoping to secure a deal, I'm sure "working on" descirbes it accuratly enough. I'm sure he's not just doing nothing and "hoping" a deal will come together from nothing. I'm sure he is "working on" a deal by chasing sponsors to secure sufficient budget!
