I'm afraid that the 2021 date is looking like a miss to me. Why do I say this?
Officially PSA have not announced which factories will produce the cars. Ellesmere Port is very much status not determined.
It takes an awful lot of planning and several months of hard physical graft to ready a factory for a new model.
If 2021 is still "on" then we have to be looking at Q3 or Q4.
I've also seen part requirement forecasts at a first tier component supplier for the current car, and they go deep into the year.
And if that's the case then if there is intention for a next gen Astra BTCC car it would be 2022 at the earliest I reckon.
Can we get back to Jason Plato in a factory Volvo rumours now?
