Two good points, maybe changing the whole thing is the way forward, i.e give the contract to WSR with Turkington and ? in the car, they would also gain the RAC sponsership, Plato is good but after so many years trying is he best placed to really moved it forward further and are Northern South the best team to run the cars?

I would have question that comment, works drivers they are not as they both pay for their seats, Honda Uk provide some support but not any notable Involvement in the Dynamics set up unlike Vauxhall/Seat on their cars

GR Asia? They did a great job with Coronel in WTCC. And currently with Adam Jones.

AH, not such a silly thought!

Assuming your assumption is right!

I will be surprised if Adam is not out again in the BTCC in 2009.

Okay, Turkington won a race at Oulton Park, but the Motorbase cars were the fastest BMW's during the races!

off topic, for which I appologise:

Do any of you have some onboard videos from the BTCC SEAT Leaon TDi cars?

Sorry to drag up the thread, I only saw the BTCC races the other night...

Just had to say that Chilton is appalling. He races like he is playing a computer game. Then to blame others for his lack of skill...! I'd like to hear who he blamed for his "late" braking in race 3. Maybe he should pay for the repair bill to the several cars he single-handed damaged. Then he'll realise this isn't "Gran Turismo".

The most dangerous driver Britain has produced.

Turkington showing how to do it once again. Where was Jackson this time?
