So why didn't you look for that thread and respond to it? Was it really necessary to start a new one? |

think about it vauxhall!
if theyre tryin to keep the driver a secret theyre hardly likely to have them wear their own helmet otherwise that would be hugely pointless! also isnt matt neal in oz at the mo? |

Surely the point that this driver was wearing a black helmet and a plain overall is that it wasn't his or her own stuff. What's the point in trying to guess who it was from the colour of the helmet when that's blatantly been done to stop people doing exactly that!?!

It was me who reported the 3rd MG driver who was seen with the team testing, black helmet and black suit was deliberte to conceal this persons identity in my view.
Your guess is as good as mine although my friend who was there said this driver did 11 laps, Mansell's had talks with the team Damon Hill is available and MG are looking for a household name to promote the MG 45. All I can tell you is it was not me!! |

Guy do you work for MG?
It's been reported on TotalMotorsport that the MG ZS completed 4 hours at the MIRA test track last week, without a problem. |

One of the trade stands at Croft had a box of 'Thanks Damon' placards (from when he retired) at only 20p each. I should have brought a load and made a killing if he ever starts racing again.

Nice to have Guy along in here then. I would love Damon in the BTCC, particularly if it's a full season. Really draw the crowds in!
And great to see the MG's fast AND reliable. |

Guy,
A few questions about the EX259, Comparing the original pics of the car and that one that appeared at the sports car show earlier this year against the latest shakedown pics, there are a few differences. Namely, much wider arches on the actual car than show variant. whole front end is lower, with totally different splitter/front bumper. Different side skirts and DTM style door web. Why so many changes? With all these changes in mind, is the early show car, to be the actual road car version, as tooling must have been made for the new style bumpers etc? If it is I'll start saving now |

The original car you saw in the pictures would not have been the real thing, perhaps not much more than a body shell, I dont recall anyone opening the doors or lifting the bonnet at the press show earlier in the year!

Just what I was thinking too. The show car was probably a Rover 45, Not this one which is a MG ZS.

The bonnet wasn't opened but the doors definately were - http://www.redshoes-racing.com/cgi-r...fo.cgi?ID=2701
Much like the Astra motorshow car vs real car, the MG now has those slab sides and bigger arches and the rear wing looks slightly bigger. The 'show' car could easilly have been a real (prototype) chassis. The aero bits are just bolt-ons or sheet metal changes which could have been added later. |
