The Super Touring Register

[Icebaby]

Im sure everyone is aware of this site http://www.supertouringregister.com/ however having a spare hour I decided to give it a good look clicking on all the history of the cars that back then I found fasinating.

Firstly a great thanks to whoever has put this together and tracking down the history of the cars, my excitment was short lived when looking at some of the history to these wonderful machines though with many sitting unused or dismantled, what a shame.

As these cars represent part of the BTCC heritage I would have thought more interest would be there to restore them, some owners have done a restoration project restoring back the liverys as they would have been and this is fantastic for us fans.

One situation drew my attention in the Renault 19 which the owners club have purchased which is a great idea, maybe such a plan could be copied with a BTCC fan based fund?

The Mansell Mondeo was the star for me and I'm pleased to see it in the same livery as when it left WSR's hands, could this be the most valuable super tourer in BTCC?

Any thoughts from others on how we can preserve these cars and bring them out of barns/garages for us to see?

With the up coming revival planned at Silverstone in 2009 maybe this will create more interest to do something?
