Buriram will be a twilight race according to Ribeiro (3rd passage)

If they are planning on expanding to two cars, I'd be surprised if they were trying to bring in Chilton.

To me, Valente would seem a more logical choice; a young French driver, has shown flashes of potential and the Citroen works squad could monitor his progress, to see if he is good enough to step up in the future.

No disrespect to Chilton though, he's a solid driver and I don't think he would do a bad job either (if these rumours are true.)

They already run 2 cars - Bennani and Ma

Ma's car may be in factory livery and entered as 'Citroen Total' but the car is actually run by Sebastien Loeb Racing

In fairness to Chilton, he is legitimately beating his team mate this year. For the first time since 2006.

I'd rather see Michelisz in a car like the Citroen though.

Ah, it caught me out that one was in the same colours as the Citroen works squad.

Thanks for clearing it up mate.

He absolutely is, doing a solid job this season. He's also got the funding to drive the more expensive Citroen too. Just wonder with the rumour though where the extra car is coming from? Unless of course, someone goes to Volvo...

Now that's one great marketing move - WTCC challenge at Goodwood from 2016 onwards:

The video is on TCT now with a short quote from the team's CEO. It sounds encouraging, he seems to be keen on the WTCC and the current regulations.

Definitely...thought the S60 would be a bit big, but the V40 front is entirely different.

Coronel (and D'Aste) has a 2014 spec Cruze, others has upgrades.

If what you are saying is true, that's very interesting.

It's true indeed, and is simply down to funding. Both Coronel and d'Aste can't cough up the necessary € 50.000,-.

I wouldn't mind seeing Coronel in TCR to be honest...

Oh, I thought D'Aste was the only one still in the old-spec car.

Definitely S60. The question is only about the number of cars and drivers now. Can't wait for the announcement

i think Volvo would at least enter 2 cars, maybe 3.

we could have around 10 (or even more) Works Cars on the grid for 2016:
Citroen 3-4
Honda 2-3 (new model?)
Lada 3-?
Volvo 2-3

I think you're close, though the Honda boss already said no new chassis for 2016. My prediction:

2x Citroën Factory
2x Citroën Semi-factory (Sebastian Loeb Racing)
2x Honda Factory
2x Volvo Factory
3x Lada Factory

Honda may take back the chassis from Proteam. Though I also think they stay with 2 cars

I guess it will this way
3 factory Citroens (Lopez, Loeb and Ma should see)
2 factory Hondas (probab;y with changed line-up)
3 factory Ladas
2 factory Volvos
SLR should remain in privateer basis (don't see why it shouldn't)
