I think I read that it was very close to a reality for this year, but they wanted to do it with very little funding and rely on the team running it...
I think for a team like Motorbase it could/would/should make sense. Will it happen? Almost certainly not. |

KIA are heading for a largely SUV based range, they could do a Ceed or Optima based car, but their focus seems to be on the common thread that all manufacturers are pursuing these days.

Props to the first championship that tries to use SUVs.

I notices the Infiniti was at Glasgow's Ignition festival yesterday. Didn't run or anything, but still in the same livery as it was at Brands GP last year.
Good looking car as well, it's a real shame about the team that ran it. |

I don't know why but it is a great shame that the team that ran Infiniti didn't even get an experienced driver in

Power Maxed Racing have announced today they are focusing on getting Newsham back into the BTCC. I can only assume for 2017. So..... will they be going the three car route, or ditching a current driver (imo Fletcher is more of a candidate to get the boot than Abbott).

I love seeing Newsham in the BTCC, here he puts his car in front of where the car should be able to get

Heard today that there may be a driver coming up from the same series Chris Smiley came from but I wonder what existing team he would fit in to

was hearing on the grapevine a few weeks ago about Dave getting a drive at Knockhill with the words "it might not be a one off" added into the convo so hopefully with another decent weekend he can show some sponsors what he can do again

small off-topic
why do BTCC drivers always say "WE" instead of "I" "We did get a good results,// we passed on the inside// we got a good start etc" do they have a secret co-driver in the car? |

They race pick-ups in the UK too.
It's a team effort. |

Something to do with the fact that a driver is backed up by the team boss, mechanics, engineers, grid girls , sponsors, and probably a whole host of other people.
