6 Brits in DTM for 2008!!
Audi have confirmed Oliver Jarvis (2007 spec car) and Catherine Legge (2006 spec car) will be driving for them in 2008: http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/65249
This brings the total of British drivers in DTM to 6, almost a 1/3rd of the grid!! The others of course are Mercedes drivers Jamie Green & Paul DiResta (both 2008 spec cars), Gary Paffett (2007 spec car) and Suzie Stoddart (2006 spec car i'd assume as thats what Legge has!).
DTM is shaping up well for 2008, lots of British interest, F1 refugee Ralf Schumacher (abeit in a 2007 spec car) and the rest of the best from last year.

Susie's got a 2007 car. Mercedes are running four 08 and five 07 cars, to cut costs, as the 2006 car is a different one altogether.
You lot still here?!

I will be at Silverstone that weekend. I will not volunteer for another DTM race unless they move it from Brands as I do not like the venue.

As you drive towards the South Bank parking, there is a gate (normally locked) that allows access onto the track at Pilgrim's Drop. However is this gate is open during the DTM weekend, there could very well be 7 Brits in the DTM.....

Repeated humiliations by their regional arch-rival Toyota wont be going down well at Hyundai HQ. They certainly wont be throwing any more good money after bad if the Regs are changed. They can see...
