Fisichella completed the qualifying session at Monza in 2003.

[Jimmy Magnusson]

Fisichella completed the qualifying session at Monza in 2003.

And smashed up the car pretty good, preventing him from taking part in the race.

[MBailey06]

Well it has to be Schumacher then as the other 4 are driving S2000 cars now.

6. Other than the Volvo S60 and Chevrolet Lacetti, can you name the 2 WTCC Super 2000 cars not to have appeared in the BTCC?

The Volvo never appeared in the WTCC but rather the ETCC. So just looking at the WTCC then you have:
BMW 320si E90 (I know WSR and Jackson are entering it but it hasn't appeared in the BTCC yet)
Honda Accord Euro-R
Ford Focus
Ford Focus ST170
Peugeot 407
Toyota Altezza (technically the car same car as the Lexus IS200, and only appeared in WTCC qualifying at Macau in 2005)
Toyota Corolla

Include the ETCC in the list then you have:
Nissan Primera
Opel Astra coupe (was in a joint round of the ETCC at Spa with the German championship which ran on different make of tyres, so doesn't appear on the 2004 entry list)
Peugeot 307 Gti

[Captain VXR]

Only answer 4 is correct Captain VXR.

A picture of the C70 DTM was posted on Ten Tenths though :confused:

[MBailey06]

It has to be Gene because I just realised it was JORDI Gene not Marc Gene that is in the WTCC.

[Jimmy Magnusson]

A picture of the C70 DTM was posted on Ten Tenths though :confused:

I think that the difference is that the Volvo was never allowed in, but the MG was planned and only halted because of things we are painfully aware of.

Marc Gene

I have an issue of Autosport (30th September 2004), in which Marc Gene test drives the BMW M3 GTR around the Eurospeeday. He says the car is brilliant compared with other saloons he had driven such as the ETCC BMW!!

Maybe I'm being a little anul here, but I think that means that Gene has driven a S2000 car!

[100%hondafan]

well in that case they have all tested one! so the question is wrong!!
