He's in the Alfa then becuase there's no way that name would fit on an Astra Coupe! |

CBH will have Carl Breeze's Astra next year and he is very very pleased with that.

Buttler-Henderson in 2004 Alfa deal
Charlie Buttler-Henderson has signed to drive a GA motorsport prepared Alfa Romeo 156 in the 2004 BTCC championship.
GA will still be keeping their Astra's and will be fielding an unchanged line up for 2004. |

Unchanged meaning Breeze and Wallace? Bad luck for Pyper, but hopefully eh can find soemthing - he ought to be top of the lsit for any works drives that come up.
Presumably its an ETCC spec car upgraded from their Proddy Alfas- that work's suppsoedly been going on behind the scenes. The internal politics at GA (and any other teams who run both BTCC and ETCC spec cars) could be fascinating. In this case it appears that the BTCC cars are getting the top drivers, and the ETCC ones being paydriver-based. So waht happens if they get to a track where the ballasting doesn't work and ETCC cars are faster? |

this is great news for charlie but i really hope that he has better luck with the btcc than he has with clio's, not that he hasn't performed well but he has been unlucky.

I heard a Release that had CBH in the Alfa, but if anyone who knows better, says that he is in an Astra, then I accept my mistake.

I feel sure it is Breeze and Wallace in the Astras. CBH would be unlikely to step straight into an Astra. Given that GA's two Astra seats are already taken.
