Still don't understand the turbo part. Are we really sure the engine has a turbo? Doesn't make sense to disallow TDI and allow LPG Turbo.

I didn't know that, but it definitely has a turbo according to Chilton's comments. Plus there are the turbo-engined Vectras competing as well, so they're not alone. I hope we don't have a lot of performance balancing issues this year. I wonder what the Chevy's dispensations are?

The Jordan and Pinkney cars have the NGTC turbo engine. In my opinion that's different.

I'm sure I read that Shedden was refused permission to run one in the Leon?

Boardman you mean? I think the problem is more getting the engine from SEAT Sport as opposed to entering them into the BTCC.

No 'will have', he already has a lot to moan about and has already started.

Seemed really odd hearing the turbo on the Focus and Vectras after all these years of N/A engines. |

I wouldn't worry about WSR. Dick Bennetts wouldn't take the risk to run without the funding being there. Why make a big effort to rebrand the team and change a lot of things when you're still angling for new sponsors who may wish to change the colour scheme drastically? At least they have a nice blank canvas to work from. It could well be like 2004 when they ran the black and silver MG with various different sponsors at every meeting. |

It was in reference to him wanting to run it in that same Leon.

So, chances of a second car at Special Tunning UK? I remeber them confirming they'd run a second car alongside Boardman and that a second driver would be signed "soon". Chance of Jones perhaps?

Forgive my ignorance, but is this the LPG or the old petrol from the Spain test? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-qvH7qqzUk&NR=1 The sound feels me with joy at the start of another BTCC season |

I think if that was happening they'd have announced it today. Seems like no-one wanted to run alongside Boardman in his own team.

Or no one could afford to, or would rather spend their money on something other than a Leon.
