BTCC 2007 - rumours (merged)
i guess we need to start this off again then,
what do we know, what do we think and what do we hope for the 2007 season, i'll do a quick run down of what i can remember from the old thread, please fill in the blanks, there will be loads
Seat - 2 x Leon, proabably Plato and Turner
Vauxhall - 2 x probably Vectra, Chilton and Giovanardi
Dynamics/Halfords - 2 or 3 x something s2000, rumours of Honda Civic, Honda Accord, BMW 320, Alfa 156. i expect probably Accord, Neal, Shedden and Howell if funds allow
Team RAC/WSR - 2 x probably S2000, hopefully, although rumours persist that they may run the MG ZS's in BTC spec again if no suitable S2000 car available, assume Turkington and Collard again
Eurotech - 1 x BTC Integra for Mike Jordan, possibly 1 extra car unknown for driver unknown, can't remember the rumours
Motorbase - 2/3 x Seat Toledo, assume Ferrier and Pinkney, have they sold the Integra to Richard Marsh or was that a dynamics cars?
Synchro - 1 x car for James Kaye, rumours persist about a S2000 New shape Civic, could be a tall order
Kartworld - latest rumour was 2 x Alfa 156 for Jason Hughes and A N Other, could yet revert to MG's
Eoin Murray - to return in his Alfa 156, hopeful
Geoff Steel Racing - Martyn Bell confirmed in BMW, rumours of 1 or 2 more cars possibly to be run by team, likely BMW's
Xero - 1 x Lexus for A Jones hopeful, plus 1 other car (ran under different team name at end of last season?)
BTC - 2 x Lexus for Darren Dowling and Chris Stockton as at end of 2006
Richard March/Team Farecla - i belive Richard has bought an Integra (ex Pinkney?), rumoured that they may run the Pug 307 as well
Techspeed 1 or 2 cars rumoured, probably last years Astras for hopefully Paul O'Neill and 1 other?
JAS - John George has Matt Neals Integra
Arena - have been rumoured to be fater 2 BMW's, not seen anything new on this
Mark Smith - rumoured to be selling the Alfa, Keeping the Alfa, Buying a new car, and not returning?
Clyde Valley - heavily rumoured to be running 2 x Biofuel Chevvy Lacettis, some more sceptical, only new builds available at £500k, Dan Eaves to drive 1 if the team makes the grid
DW Racing - another team waiting for a budget to come off, possible Astra Coupe(s)
Rick Kerry - 1/2 x BMW 120d S2000, 1 ex VLN car and 1 possible new build, very possible for at least a one car entry
Erkut Kiz? - rumoured to want a seat, possibly a vauxhall, techspeed maybe?
Fiona Leggate - supposedly going for Seats next year, may yet return to BTCC
Gavin Smith - money but no seat at VX
how are we doing for firming up a few of these or any new rumours surfacing?"I" before "E" except after "C". Weird.

I hope Thommo returns.
He was brilliant last season. Should be a title contendor if he enters.RIP Colin McRae

I don't know how well connected SEATSport UK (BTCC) is to SEATSport UK (WTCC) but as Thommo is out of contract would SEATSportUK (BTCC) have to resign him?
Another bit of talk I have heard that isn't on the first is Tom-Onslow-Cole is 85% through a deal that will see him go to Team RAC.Manufacturers Champs (06'), Teams Champs (07')

Well if Thompson is out of contract with SEATSport UK which I expect he is, they can sign whoever they like, this may not include Thompson!
