Chilton and Nash. Is there enough room for both those egos in one team? ;)

Maybe he's just having a year off and hiring a Ford Focus while on holiday??
That's one way of looking at it!Quote:

And on holiday driving around the world. :D
Lea Wood has Andy Jordan's Vectra from last year :)
BTCC :: Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship
Good news to have Lea Wood back, I hope he does a few more races this season than in 2010 and 2011 but I guess that'll depend on his budget.
Did this happen??Quote:

Not a rumour, I think a confirmed thread is a good ideaQuote:

Does anyone know when Onslow-Cole will announce his drive?
No need to be sad since neither of the two races LADA are racing in clash with any round in the BTCC, so that possibility is as open as it ever was.Quote:

Look at the name of the account name:
BTCC 2012 Team Sponsorship Opportunities Available **PLEASE READ** | eBay
then read this:
http://www.richardhawken.com/New%20W...ext%20race.htm
While I wish him all the luck in the world and while I like to see new faces on the grid, some of the points made on the eBay page are ludicrous. Here are my edited highlights:Quote:

BTCC is more popular than Premiership Football.
Attracts more spectators than the British GP (strictly true but not in the sense that is being implied)
I know these are tough times, but if I were a potential sponsor, I'd be really pissed off about being mislead.
EDIT: After a Google search it seems the forums over at Ten-Tenths also found these stats to be a little alarming. http://www.ten-tenths.com/forum/show....php?p=3021119

I would guess in marketing terms those stats are accurate.
James Nash has joined Arena in the WTCC

I thought Nash drove well last year and look forward to seeing how he stacks up against Chilton!
We still haven't got a list of teams and drivers - does anyone know if RML are putting a team out and who will be their drivers - I thought Mr Moany would've stayed with them
Keep up Tixy54.Quote:

Apparently MacDowell has a test with Motorbase lined-up as their possible third driver alongside Jackson and Griffin. TouringCarTimes - BTCC: Alex MacDowall to test for Motorbase
Onslow-Cole should announce soon that he is coming back in a RWD car.
And Gilham is due to announce he is returning in a FWD car.
And to give you a rough idea, pretty much what we have atm in terms of DRIVERSQuote:

1 or 2 at Thorney.
So we could easily start with a 25 car grid.
Thorney Motorsport did tweet that they should be announcing their drivers in the next week. Twitter
They were at Silverstone testing their Insignia on Friday.
So what do we all think of the new Civic then? It does have a very fat arse but from the front I think it looks the bollocks!
TouringCarTimes - BTCC: First pictures of the new NGTC Honda Civic
I love the look of the race one but I'm still unsure about the road going model, the first of which I saw on Saturday
It looks even better when you walk round it!Quote:

like they say, big bottom girls make the world go round lol. i love the NGTC Civic. being a former Plato and RML fan im looking forward to seeing my new choice in works teams do well in that Civic. Just hope flash can do something this year and win that title finally
It's sounds as it almost certain that STR won't be out this season... Shame.
Tony Gilham Returns To VW Racing Cup With Own Team - VW Racing Cup - The Checkered Flag If Gilham's running hos own VWs does that mean he's also going to be running his own BTCC Civic?
I expect so.Quote:

Judging on this week's Autosport we won't be seeing Paul O'Neill back in the BTCC, shame that, I think he suited Touring Cars. Always a favorite with the Mums etc... Btw whats going on with the second RAR Audi? I've heard two stories, one saying Rob's going to drive it and another saying everyone's favorite 18 year old Chris Swanwick will be driving it... Anyone have any ideas?
I guess that Swanwick will drive the second Audi if he has the money, if not then Austin will be in it.
The fear is that with the RML cars missing, Honda will annihilate its rivals and the series will become as predictable as the WTCC.Quote:

Vaulkhard + George + Techspeed + Chevrolet Cruze + NGTC motors anyone?
I haven't even put it in my Sky+ yet. Probably won't bother. If I'm around and bored I'll watch it but I'm not going to any effort.Quote:
