The full article on Knockhill.com said moving up with Total Control Racing. TCR are a great team and previous BTCC Independents' champions in their previous guise of Brookes Motorsport. I really hope Jonathan Adam can make the step up, I'm sure he'd make a very good touring car driver.

I hope Martin Byford and Rob Lawson are also able to step up to touring cars at some point, both of them deserve a shot at it.

Will anyone genuinely want that car? Personally I'd choose a petrol Leon over the TDi.

Considering the performance of the TDi it would be a gamble worth taking. It had its reliability problems but the car was very dominant in the second half of the year.

about time as well, I know he was looking at a Seat of some description but personally I would favour the petrol but the diesel has been reliable in WTCC but then again Northern South arent involved with that
hope he can get some sponsorship to get out there2009, Jonathan Adam BTCC, marshal at Knockhill Orange dont be seen trackside without it

The test at Silverstone tomorrow is to reward the drivers that have took wins in the SCC. I think there are four different drivers testing the TDI...
When I go to WRC event, I want to see the best drivers as always. If I want to see some national drivers, I can go to some other less popular event.. Just simple.
