Replace the Entire Grid - Who Would You Add

BootsOntheSide · 12 Jun 2004, 17:10 (Ref:1001866)

Purely hypothetically, which 21 drivers who aren't in the BTCC right now (using the Mondello entry list plus John George) would you most like to see in the series? I'd prefer if people limit their lists to no more than 6-8 DTM or ETCC drivers, as there's no way we'd ever see a big international influx now.

My list would be something like:
Fabrizio Giovanardi
Gabriele Tarquini
Jean Alesi
Heinz-Harald Frentzen
Bernd Schneider
Alex Zanardi
Andy Priaulx
Warren Hughes
David Leslie
Alan Morrison
Valentino Rossi
Colin McRae
Gareth Howell
Danny Buxton
Gavin Pyper
Spencer Marsh
Jim Edwards Jr
Justin Keen
Gordon Shedden
Norman Simon
Alex Yoong

Note that I'm not too well up on the feeder championships, so not many of those guys are in here.

I'd like to see mostly the names that have come and gone over the last few years in the BTCC. Not neccessarily just the older guys, but some of the youngsters who deserved a seat in the BTCC this season.

So, in no particular order, other than more recent first!:

1. Alan Morrison
2. Aaron Slight
3. Roger Moen
4. David Leslie
5. Phil Bennett
6. Warren Hughes
7. Gavin Pyper
8. Tom Boardman
9. Rickard Rydell
10. Alan Menu -did i say that

11. John Cleland
12. Tim Harvey
13. Eugine O Brien
14. Patrick Watts
15. Frank Sytner
16. Frank Beila
17. Will Hoy
18. Keith O' Dor
19. Winn Percy
20. Andy Rouse
21. Julian Bailey

A lot of those guys are already in the BTCC this season.

BootsOntheSide · 14 Jun 2004, 12:40 (Ref:1003509)

10 of them by my reckoning - although the other 17 would make a good field.

speedy king · 14 Jun 2004, 18:36 (Ref:1003884)

Whoops, my fault, didn't read the first post correctly! Also put 6 too many drivers

Kicking-back · 14 Jun 2004, 19:02 (Ref:1003917)

Just name an extra four now, and you're sorted!

3. Jason Watt
4. Hans Stuck
5. Anthony Davidson
6. Corina Schumacher (got to have a Schumacher)
7. Jorg Muller
8. Dirk Muller (just be fun to watch a muller 1-2-3)
9. Simon Pullan
10 Claudia Hurtgen
11 Gaille (did wonders in late '90s with an ancient BMW)
