Lexus Touring Cars
This team (http://www.lgt-engineering.com/) appear to be looking to enter the 2008 WTCC, they appear to have some pretty fantastic credentils with ex-ABG Team Principle Tim Blake one of the guys involved:
"With over twenty years experience at the pinnacle of motorsport, LGT's Technical Director, George Ryton, brings vast experience and technical innovation from his previous positions as Head of Chassis Design at Ferrari F1 & Technical Director of Tyrrell F1 to an existing team of designers and engineers that already boasts extremely high technical ability and flair"
Do you think we will see them in the BTCC?

I doubt we'll see them in the WTCC to be honest.

Unless I am reading it wrong, delivery won't be until MAY?.. Seems too late to me! Season has already started!
Nope.. Don't even expect them to be in the WTCC either!

theres been talk of these guys entering over the past few years in one Lexus or another but I heard they always realease something optimistic in the hope of attracting sponsors but then nothing materialises.
hmmmm nothing of importance but is skoda's logo gone from all the tv graphics? its written SKODA instead of the regular logo
