I wonder if younger BTCC fans will be fondly talking about 1 series BMW's in 20 years time? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SamuelTrautman 0 Posted November 5, 2014 good point man! I remember the mazda xedos (maybe wrong spelling) being a nice looking car too, probably the paint job, purple and yellow if I remember, with nice yellow wheels. don't think it was fastest but damn it looked good at the time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With Ebay pulling out apparently Turkington is not definitely keeping his drive Oh I didn't know ebay were withdrawing! Ebay pulled out a few days ago, Turkington has said since then he's had to think of other options just in case. I'm guessing it would be due to the team needing to get/keep someone who brings in more cash. Plato is rumoured to be joining the team as well, he's definitely not with MG anymore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
f1since08 60 Posted December 13, 2014 Plato is guaranteed to win the title in a RWD car! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
APR193 0 Posted December 13, 2014 There were rumours WSR would be ditching the BMW and running a brand new Mini but as Tordoff tested the BMW I don't see that happening Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tbtstt 2,439 Posted January 7, 2015 First bit of BTCC news in 2015 and its quite significant...http://news.motorsportvision.co.uk/former-btcc-champ-jordan-switches-to-mg.aspx...interesting move. I hope the MG provides a decent platform for Jordan, would be great to see him lift the title again. (Off topic, but I also hope we see Jordan back in a rallycross car again in 2015!)

f1since08 60 Posted January 7, 2015 That might just have saved Depper's career. I wonder where Plato and Turkington are going to be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
APR193 0 Posted January 8, 2015 Whole host of liveries revealed so far today. Looks like Andy Priaulx is going to be announced at WSR at 11:30 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tbtstt 2,439 Posted January 8, 2015 Yes indeed......shame he can't make all the rounds as that is surely going to ruin his chance of taking the title, irrespective I'm already getting seriously excited for this years Championship! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RevolvingPrawn 1 Posted January 8, 2015 Awesome! Always been a fan of Priaulx, gonna be great to see him back in the BTCC :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tommig1995 0 Posted January 8, 2015 Trading off on whether to go to BTCC at Croft again or FE in London this year, they're on the same weekend. Half of us can't do Oulton Park, and Donnington & Knockhill are simply too far... :( Croft or Nothing... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

buttonfan 5 Posted January 9, 2015 Honda say the Autosport show may be the last time we'll see the Tourer ever.. I guess it's going to happen, they're going to use the new Type-R for 2015. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
