They were competitive in the right hands in the WTCC. It was the team that was the problem

According to Mike Earle in this weeks autosport, towards the end of last season it looked like we were gonna have at least Ford and Honda entering as works teams in 2009. No wonder Alan Gow didn't seem too bothered by Seat pulling out. Especially with rumours of Volvo (although both them and Ford would seem strange) and also Bart Mampaey apparently pushing for BMW to enter aswell. 2009 could have been a mega season! Imagine the amount of 'star name' drivers that number of teams could have brought to the series!
Since then though, Ford and Honda have been hit hard by the economical situation and abandoned BTCC plans, BMW have comitted to WTCC and surely Volvo have left it all too late. Never mind, thank god for the privateers that we've still even got a (damn good) championship to watch.

I wouldn't be arsed about a field full of private teams, as long as they were all competitive and on a par. It might actually tighten things up as far as the championship goes, instead of one or two drivers running away with it.
If its got breasts or an engine, its gonna cost you...

James Thompson testing for Motorbase Perfomance. Of course Motorbase have been testing just about everyone and Thompson has been testing for just about every team.
Also I hope Jason Hughes gets better from his knee surgery.Blackadder! Blackadder! With many a cunning plan,
Blackadder! Blackadder! You horrid little man.

Wet conditions. Portuguese Autosport brought something to the table... the WRC2 crews are using a WRC spec tyre that is harder than the spec Meeke and other CPR runners are using.
