I have to say I'm really looking forward to BTCC this year.

Alain Menu, faaaaaaaantastic!

PS: God the BTCC was damn good in the 90s

So there's your 2014 BTCC title decided already Wink

by JVanEssen Tue 28 Jan 2014 - 4:04

How did Menu get a license for this year? Or do the teams get awarded x amount of licenses and they can have whoever they want use them? So confused over this new rule? Either way Onslow Cole showed what that Passat is capable of a few times so Im sure Menu can give us VW fans something to really cheer about.

by CQR Myles Tue 28 Jan 2014 - 8:57

The Passat was quick around fast tracks because of its long wheelbase making it stable around high speed corners, the lincenses are for teams and the ammount of cars they run

Thanks makes sense then.

Man with the Merc, Passat, Avensis and Audis touring cars are starting to look alot like touring cars again

So... Team BMR is using the Team HARD cars but isn't anything to do with Tony Gilham?
Seems a little weird. Where on earth has Warren Scott's dosh come from to be able to afford Alan. Great news for the series. As I commented elsewhere, why have 5 champions when you can have 6 Smile

The new Honda Yuasa Racing Civic Tourer NGTC had it's track debut today at Rockingham at the hands of Matt Neal and it looks very good...

by JVanEssen Wed 29 Jan 2014 - 18:45

Looks great! I was hoping they were going to run the silver from the original images.

by AMR of the Apex Wed 29 Jan 2014 - 22:41

I cannot see what the problem is with that car, not just because It doesnt have a phallic shape on the front, but it looks enough like a civic, to be a civic touring car.

Rob Austin has been testing his re-built Audi A4 NGTC this week at Silverstone and is feeling very positive about his chances in 2014:

Don't know whether this has already been mentioned but the latest rumour is that Giovinardi will race for Motorbase this season, possibly alongside Mat Jackson and Dan Cammish.

Has anyone seen 2014 BMW pics yet?

by nickyf1 Wed 5 Feb 2014 - 14:09

No, none released, unless I'm very much mistaken.

You generally don't hear much about the BTCC properly til media day.
