That's it.

N-Technology will enter to semi works cars in the 2007 WTCC, with Team mate TBC

Thats top news, Id consider that to be almost a works entry and with WSR's semi works entry, thats almost like 4 manufacturers. I wonder if they will let Alfa and BMW score manufacturer points?
I wonder why SEAT chose Turner over Thommo though?

Because Thommo has gone to a semi-works team in the WTCC not the BTCC.

Doh! Totally misread that!
Damn, thought we had got Alfa back for a minute!

Their gain is our loss. IMO Thompson has long outgrown the BTCC (much as I love it) and it was a privilege to have him in the series last year.
Now he will get another chance to impress on the world stage and i'm sure he will do very well.

yep totally agree with winchesters's point there, it's a shame he wont be racing in the BTCC this year but at least he's the top dog in the alfa team for this year, look what it did for farfus last year!

Paul, shouldn't you be out drinking or spraying aftershave down your ears or something at 10 to 3 in the morning?! That is no time for forum activity. Tuh...

Sad to see him go from both the series (BTCC) and SEAT :) , but after I heard that SEAT was going to cut back the cars and only Yvan and Gabrielle were the only drivers in-contract I pretty much expected it.

Any word on Intalians Salvatore Tavano and Gianni Morbidelli?

Get rid would be my advise! I nominate Vincent Radermecker be given a drive with them...

Wasn't there something not so long ago about Vincent possibly going to a team that runs Astra Coupes?
