As far as I am aware, there is no where to run these cars at the moment and there are quite a few about. |

That would boost the grid, produce some decent, close racing and it'd be nice to see some old machinery back out on track...now I wonder what ever happened to the 406 Coupes? Lovely looking things. |

B-TEC Development Series News & Rumors 2016
Surprised a series like this didn't already exist. Here in Oz we have a 2nd tier development series for V8 Supercars that's a good place for old cars and young talent to demonstrate their skills.

If you keep adding old rule sets to the B-tec series you effectively end up with a slightly newer version of the Historic Super Touring championship..... |

There were 4 406 chassis built. There are a few BTC-T threads in the chassis history forum.

To be honest I cant see it being a good idea for the series to go to Anglesey or Pembrey in its first year- good circuits though they are- because it is a long way for teams and drivers to travel and could well result in lower entries.

Also, the Pembrey meeting will be alongside the Truck racing championship, which would ensure a reasonable crowd, which is no bad thing either. |

The subframes will have been taken off the Insignias to build up the CCs but the base shell will still be complete. 'Just' a question of fitting new subframes and bunging an engine in.

Got that from another website Going by that theres 3 hatch shells/complete and 2 tourers shells/conplete at dynamics Not sure if they used bits off them to build the civic tyoe r ? If it was then surely eurotech would have upgraded there old civic hatch instead of buying 3 new cars |

just looked up BKR and they not even done a full season with a clio and zero touring car experience. but they will run 6 ngtc cars?! six cars! sounds like wishful thinking.

Team BKR used to be known as Bubble & Kick Racing, they've been around for a good number of years. They've got a reason amount of experience at club level. OK so it's still 6 cars but running in BTEC will be nothing like running in BTCC, so far less of a stretch than you think.
