BTCC 2008 Confirmed Thread

[Nick Leason]

I would just like to say a big thankyou to those who have supported myself but also Rick last season. Sometimes I don't think people realise how much hard work and effort is put in to acheive what we do. I had an extremeley hard year last season which was so frustrating and got me down. But hope to show that we both can put in a good performance in 2008 and pay back all your loyalty you have shown both of us...Unfortunatley we both do require sponsorship to acheive what we are doing and both work extremeley hard to try and get it and it is not always easy but we try our best with what we have got.

Thanks again.

Hi Nick, how close to completion is the second car?

[Nick Leason]

At present we are working extremley hard with the developement of the engine and the use of a sequential gearbox as we know we need to find more power which we plan to acheive with some great support behind us with the specialist companies we have on board. Then our plan is to transfer this across to both cars for 2008. But we hope to at least start testing with one car at the end of the month to acheive as much track time as we can possible. Myself and Rick will be at the Autosport Show on Thursday so do come and say hello...

Hope things go much better for both of you this season. I'd come and say hello, but I won't be there until Friday.

And which BMW are YOU hoping to get reliability from this year Mr Neate?

Hi Nick

Good news, I hope you and Rick get your program backed and wish you both a good season.

Unfortunately I will be attending show on Friday, it would have good to get together for a coffe and chat

Again best wishes

Is this some strange way of telling us that Andy is going to be driving one of the 3-series beemers this season, possibly a motorbase one?
Either that or I may just be wishful thinking


EDIT: I've just looked on Andy's website and it shows a picture from Brands (possibly 1st race of last season?) and coming soon........ http://www.andyneate.co.uk/ I wonder if i've just stumbled across some news

[peewhee]

And you think your the first to notice that?

I may not have actually supported you and BTC Racing last season but I always look out for the smaller teams like BTC Racing and want them to do well. I don't like to see people doing badly. I begin to feel for them.

So this season will be no different for me regarding yourself, Rick and both teams (Team AFM and NJL).

I will be pulling for you and hope you have more success in the BMW 120d than the Lexus IS200 and I for one think you will. I for one think you will collect points consistently if your hard work pays off.
