6 Brits in DTM for 2008!!

[philipbain]

Audi have confirmed Oliver Jarvis (2007 spec car) and Catherine Legge (2006 spec car) will be driving for them in 2008: http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/65249

This brings the total of British drivers in DTM to 6, almost a 1/3rd of the grid!! The others of course are Mercedes drivers Jamie Green & Paul DiResta (both 2008 spec cars), Gary Paffett (2007 spec car) and Suzie Stoddart (2006 spec car i'd assume as thats what Legge has!).

DTM is shaping up well for 2008, lots of British interest, F1 refugee Ralf Schumacher (abeit in a 2007 spec car) and the rest of the best from last year.

More fantastic news - even more reason to get down there. Jarvis must have a lot of respect not to be given a 2006 car too. Also great to see Katherine Legge at last, plus the Brits from 2007. I cant wait! All we need now is a demo lap in an A1GP and it will be perfect.

Susie's got a 2007 car. Mercedes are running four 08 and five 07 cars, to cut costs, as the 2006 car is a different one altogether.

Excellent news - especially with the 2 Scottish drivers back again

I will be at Silverstone that weekend. I will not volunteer for another DTM race unless they move it from Brands as I do not like the venue.

The DTM is shaping up to be awesome this season - really looking forward to it at Brands (despite the detractors!)

As you drive towards the South Bank parking, there is a gate (normally locked) that allows access onto the track at Pilgrim's Drop. However is this gate is open during the DTM weekend, there could very well be 7 Brits in the DTM..... ;)
