Red200 is an important member of the BTC Racing team!
If he says it will happen! It will happen!
That makes things much clearer. Thanks. :rolleyes:Quote:

Well, it's always nice to have people who are a part of the BTCC members of this forum.
Good luck for 2008 Red200. I will be keeping an eye on your team at Croft :up: :)
wanna now more about the FREAK and his FREAKY and SICKO endeavours???
Check out lady - dash - sonia - dot - uk - dot - co
u can figure out his screename
hes truly a sick individual
unless u consider licking another man's semen normal
and whining about having a twoinch member :)
an picking fights with anybody ho has a dick longer than twoinches
SFreak is freakier on Lady Sonia website free forum were he idolizes uglyfat chick with boots and want to lick man-goo off her vulgar boots what a sicko
So i guess the "TOC potentially being run by triple8 in a vectra" is still a rumour and no one has posted it, so i thought i'd add it here.
Just wanted to say, jeeeeeeezus!!!!!!!!!!!! how much ,money must he have to spend????? a works car, run by a works team, but not a works drive! and a seperate set up!
Would seem an oportunity has been lost by many a team owner!
Especially if you have BMW's!
According to Dailysportscar, A-Tech have confirmed Richard Marsh's British GT entry- Ferrari 430, shared with Anthony Reid- that could put paid to any speculation of a BTCC return for Reid....Quote:

If I had the money! They look the business!
Motorbase really have made those Toledos look very neat and tidy, I'm sure they would be would be fairly decent in the right hands.
Considering the shunts theyve had this year Motorbase have done a great job with looking after the cars. The plain white looks beautiful :D
When ever i have seen any of the motorbase cars ,either btcc or porsche they have always been very well presented.
Matt Allison qualified 10 at the last round at Thruxton in the white car. I'm really amazed that someone like Kartworld hasn't snapped these up! Better bet than those MG's!
Martyn Bell has mentioned he wants to FWD.
They certainly look great in those pictures!
Any word on the drivers? They are supposed to be, according to touringcartimes.com, in talks with a number of "race winning" drivers.
Dave Bartrum seems to me, from what he said in ther above mentioned article, very aware he needs his team to have the latest equipment to challenge and he seems very confident and driven with it too. And with the combination of a good working relationship from Schnitzer and possibly the most popular and widely competitive racecar in the 320si E90 I certainly and very sincerely hope the do become a very strong promising team to go to for Independents with a history of winning races.
I would like to see matt allison stay with the team,ithink he did a good job in 07 ,considering he only had a team mate fully for the first half of the season.
He started the year as the new boy and by the halfway point while he was still learning he became the team lead driver.
Not a bad effort inyour first year.
That's very true indeed.Quote:

Many will do the opposite and consider it not accounting for much, but for me, OK I admit it isn't world changing, but Matt Allison achieving the second fastest lap in Race 2 at Thruxton in an old works Toledo when not that massively quicker was the brand new factory Vectra of Fabrizio Giovanardi is a good achievement by me.
Allison did well in his opening year in the BTCC, he just had far too many big shunts, though I think almost all were not his fault.
the biggest was at thruxton when both allison and howell were up in the top 6 it all went wrong when they both tangled with turner,I think that sumed up motorbases season .Quote:

i have read like meny others on here bmw wtcc are testing a oil burner motor (derv ) so don t think vxr can stand still and not join in the derv game as seat bmw lexus all been testing there motors and also steve neal said he would like to use a derv to .
so if the storys are true of vxr to run 3 cars maybe vxr have realy used there heads and taken matt neal on to help sort out there new tdi (think cdi is there model name but not sure ) as after he sorted out the honda s so quickly . just a thought thats all
didn't VXR test a diesel car a couple of years ago when appraising the vectra before the Sport Hatch - so i'm sure they are still looking at it
It would be odd for VXRacing to use a Diesel from their advertising point of view as no VXR models are diesel aless this is to coyly coincide with a diesel release VXR model, as we know from Triple 8, they really know how to tune the turbo diesels. (Thurlby Astra Sport Hatch Diesel).
Think you just answered yourself there!Quote:

Your totally amazing! :)
What was SEAT's stance on diesel a few years ago? Could they have introduced it then or was it not thought about as a power for racing cars?
just got a head for useless info Seatfreak!
it might not make sense from a marketing point of view, but ultimately the best marketing tool is battling at the front and winning, regardless of the engine type - after all the Astra and Vectra VXR both have very different engines than the BTCC cars, altho they are all petrol. if it takes a move to diesel to stay at he front i can't see why they wouldn't.
presumabley there are constant appraisals of differing technologies behind the scenes and as soon as regs or performance make it practical then a change occures, as per Seat last year
...It was mentioned on this forum at the time.Quote:

Was it not around the time they first looked at changing to the Vectra, though?Quote:

The 'Vectra diesel concept' was shown at the British Motorshow in 2004
I dont know what you think, but i've got a feeling that Onslow-Cole might get one of the Motorbase drives
It'd make sense. He has a knowledge of the car and should know how he likes to set it upQuote:

I don't think they "lost" the Holiday Inn sponsorship - more like GM told them it was detracting from the promotion of the Vauxhall brand, and they should "lose" it.
I don't remember TOC's car being particularly flush with his own personal sponsors..?Quote:
