Formula Saloons - history of cars ?
Anyone got any info on the history of the super tourers competing in the Formula Saloons series ? I believe that the Audi is a French Supertourisme car repainted to look like a genuine BTCC car but how about the others ? The Accords and the Primeras ? Who build, owned and raced them and how did they get into the hands of their current owners ?

Our Nissan Primera was raced by Eric van de Poele and run by Team Rosberg in 1997 before racing in Czech Rebublic.
2002 was a bad year for the team with a multitude of mechanical problems culminating in a large crash at Brands a couple of weeks ago, never mind theres always next year !! Glad to see so many fans of super touring on the forum, as long as they enjoy it we will keep racing !!! |
