Nope... They don't even run a 2-litre tourer in RTCC anymore.

Priora sedan has now replaced 110 in production line, but there's only 1.6l engined model...

They should better test this model in our championship first. If they manage to build a car for 2008 it'll be a mobil schicane for others.I hope,there won't be any Ladas in WTCC.

After a few races they'll get so much dispensions it will weight in at 600kg, allowed bigger engines and 18,000 rpm and the chassie will look like an old Minardi chassie.

As a Lada owner i'd love to see them race.

But i find an entry highly unlikely

Unlikely, but I'd love to see it happen in the BTCC. Now he's got a better car, we don't have Rick Kerry (nice guy, shame about the lack of the development of the car) for comedy value

What would be so funny about it? Lada has done some good things in motorsport in their history, particularly in Rally Raiding.

Who will run it in WTCC? MTEC or Lada Sport Racing, and who actually build/developped the car and if it was ever even tested?

Neither of them - private team is going to run. They have picked-up the chassis from factory and in process of building for now.

So is the car again being built up to S2000 specs or some lower series?

It's going to be S2000 car. As far as I know the team will get factory's support at least in terms of homologation.

They'll get VAZ's support if the project has succes. In Russia nobody will spend a ruble not sure it would give him three rubles instead. They've plenty of projects-rally,touring,Dakar and have you seen them at any racing event?

AxelF, Bramzel, gwyllion, JMeissner, JorritVD, medius, Mike_Wooshy, Monkey Head, Nsnuccio, racefanhuib, Stefvh, Subaru_WRX_STi, THIM, Valker - remove your headwear and get some cutlery out - they're on the entry list starting in Valencia, so it looks like you might be eating your hats!

I'm also positively surprised with the 2nd driver of Russian Bears. Van Lagen is a very good driver. I had no idea that he was up to do the WTCC. Last year and the year before he drove FR3.5, but he broke with the team during the year. He had some decent results in the meantime though.
