And then they came back to the UK. That Astra was Tom Chilton's car.

I knew I had seen this before. Astra Sport Hatch shell outside the college in Bicester. Says Smith on the window, but his car was canibalised for an STCC car wasn't it? Launton Rd

Please tell me you weren't just randomly surfing Google Maps and found that.

Interesting to see Tony Gilham is using one of the old NGTC Avensis for Britcar - new lease of life for old NGTC cars maybe?

I'd love to say yes, but I was just following up on something that came into my head.

The only realistic place to race them outside BTCC, apart from something like one of the regional clubbie "Libre" Sports and Saloon series.

[QUOTE=BertMk2;3755008]I think at least one of the Astras went out to the middle east didn't it?

Chassis 8&9 came out here, 9 has gone back to the UK and 8 (Muller) is being restored

He has a few of them, runs them mainly in the touring car experience days.

They only run one car for the experience days, the same one that was used at Outlon recently for the Britcar race. The others are just gathering dust.

I have found this a great read over the past weeks due to self isolation..

I'm enjoying it during this hiatus from real work.
