Not good news for the championship. It seems odd for them to withdraw when they become the fastest and everyone had them as favorites next season.
On the other hand at least it solves the diesel advantage problem.Tazio 14/3/2015: I'll give every member on this forum 1,000.00 USD if McLaren fails to podium this season!

can't believe it.
I hope we get another manufacturer in as cant see Vauxhall wanting to be the only manufacturer at least there are a lot of indepentants around.
Not as bad as 2000/01 but could be if more people leave the series and I thought the BTCC was getting back to its best!Look out I have been to the Jason Plato school of driving. I take no prisoners!!

Bad news for the BTCC to see half the manufacturers pull out and a strange decision by SEAT when they would have been in an extremely strong position for 2009. I really hope Jason Plato can find a drive to remain in the BTCC.
I would hope Northern South could continue on an independent basis but they'd have to find a sponsor to plug that financial gap where SEAT's money used to be.
Thankfully the BTCC while lacking works teams does have a strong set of independent squads so we won't see the racing get any worse.Blackadder! Blackadder! With many a cunning plan,
Blackadder! Blackadder! You horrid little man.

I to am surprised as Seat would have won next year fairly easy as they have sorted the car out to race well at most curcuits. It is very bad for the BTCC as it needs more manufacturers in it.

That's awful news, hopefully BMW will enter as a full time manufacturer, but seriously why?

Very bad news, Why would Vauxhall now want to continue to pump full works budgets in to their campaign if they become the only manufacturer team next year against a load of independents....a few years back someone commented on here how the BTCC would become and independents championhip and they were shot down in flames....well the Gow team needs to pull something out the bag now...
