Under the new rules Arena and Halfords are Constructors as they build their own cars. A more logical solution would be a marques championship, but that one probably wouldn't have been popular.

Here is a mock up of Dave Pinkney's New Honda Civic.

From what I can see it's a photoshopped Shedden Civic from the Media Day at Rockingham (looks to me like Shedden is driving)

I'd definitely agree that it is a mock-up, the shot doesn't even appear in the photo gallery on Dave's site.

But pink flames!!!

You care to divulge any more information than that Aunt Sally?
And is it per chance anything to do with a second Chevvy?

Let's not bother with the guessing game! It's Nick Leason. He's going to race the #16 Team AFM Racing BMW 120d. I'll leave it up to btcc.net to confirm the rest of the details tomorrow...

Plato officially IN - driving a private RML Lacetti! What fantastic news!
I had a feeling something would come about - love him or hate him, Plato is too important to the BTCC to not be there. The on-track controversy he creates helps make the series as great as it is.
I was looking forward to Brands enough as it was...

I always thought it was a bit risky announcing new drivers and teams on April 1st myself.....

If we arent all being fooled here another question for you Andy, what you gonna do about the graphic for ITV seeing as the livery wont be revealed til Saturday?

Thats the way it always worked at my school Touringcarlegend.
I have my doubts, would love to see him back, but seems a very silly day to announce major news.

Ah ok Andy thats cool then, assuming it is true of course

True- and they've gone to the trouble of updating the entry list on the official website, as well as the driver and team info. I think we can assume this one's for real.

http://www.btcc.net/html/drivers.php

Quote from JP: At the moment, we don’t know how long we’ll be around. We’re trying tremendously hard behind the scenes to put together a full programme for 2009. Right now, I’m just very excited to be teaming back up with some good friends and respected colleagues at RML.

I hope they can find a backer for the full season...
