This press release appears to confirm OC in the 2nd AON car, as well as LPG power.

Good to see TOC finally confirmed, although it was looking like an inevitability anyway

That's not the only error. See if you can spot the other.
So I was right in thinking their LPG testing was on the basis of a commercial tie up - with Calor. |

there's some video's on TOC's page on youtube of him testing the car running LPG in Spain and it sounds awesome, better than last year

Yep, I have seen the videos on youtube, assuming that is indeed the engine and exhaust system for this year, then they do still sound awesome.
The thing is, I remember a while back in 1998 when the old Vectra V6 series ran with the BTCC, one of the cars (Colin Blair maybe?) I am sure ran an LPG car and it sounded really quiet and had a very different exhaust note, like a quieter version of the old Volvo 5 - cylinder exhaust note. |

Now on possibly the most unreliable btcc site on the web: http://www.btcccrazy.co.uk/2010/03/1...irm-lpg-power/
Looks like they have completely buthchered a press release though Quote:
- Team Arena?? You mean Team AON? Arena international motorsport? Maybe someone should tell them they have a new name |

And now Airwaves are back with Motorbase, even though they were pulling out
http://btcc.net/html/home.php Great to see Sheds back with TD, and I really like that Civic in proper Honda colours |

Dave Bartrum must be a pretty persuasive man, to make Airwaves change their mind!

I would guess Mat Jackson. Mat Jackson and Turk in the same team, now that would be something!
Can't wait for Tuesday! |

I also see teams have been allowed another weeks testing. The ban was due to commence after media day, but now they have until 31st March. Sensible move on TOCA's part.

Maybe it's only come off as Collard not being there allowed them to use the driver that is "one better"? Maybe the Airwaves deal is on the back of having a better driver than Collard in the car (especially if it's Turkington - much easier to get a sponsor on board if you've got the current champion in the car I'd have thought).

Hmm, go one better says Dave Bartrum? Does that mean having two experienced front line drivers instead of one and one rookie, or going one car better, three instead of two? I'd guess the former but it doesn't seem clear to me.
