What a shame, he would have been one of the favourites...

Now it looks good for D'Aste and Engstler, as long as Proteam doesn't sign Porteiro.

Any news about the Geipel brothers? IIRC they wanted to do WTCC in 2009.

Then I must be bloody well colour blind. Because unless you zoom the page in to about 200% the blue (which is indeed blue when I zoomed in to about 200%) the blue looks like green to me.

Yes, the color do look a little greenish for me as well at low resolution, so I understand how it could be a bit confusing.

It looks very boring. The Liqui-Moly logo isn't big enough, and there's too much white space between it, and the number plate.

Livery looks ok.
IMO the best news is that they have two good drivers instead of only Engstler.

True. He just needs some more experience, he'll do great stuff towards the end of the season, IMO

Poulsens E90 is from 2006, but should be updated to latest customer spec. Hopefully that will not hold him back, but yes..

He needs to gather some experience in the upcoming season, before he can make those great results.

The 2009 kit has not reached the customer teams, me think. BMW Motorsport is still testing with only some of the kit mounted.

Maybe not. Depends on how the new weight penalty rules looks like exactly. If you eg can avoid getting the penalty weight of the Factory teams by running a 2008 spec car, then I see why it would be interesting.

From my informations it's about the model, so BMW 320si E90 gets the penalty, no matter which spec. Would be too easy like that, wouldn't it? I get the penalty so I downgrade to another spec.
Way too early for the 09 kit, I believe, so I agree with Aslak. I didn't know Poulsen's BMW was from 2006. Are you sure he's driving his own car? Maybe it's Romanov's car from last year...

Helterskelter: Poulsen is driving his own car, it is the car which Jesper Sylvest raced in the DTC. Poulsen actually has 5 E90, and chose this one as it has the lowest km´s on the clock. It has been updated, though.

As far as I know, Poulsen bought the car from Team Essex Invest. But I am not sure, could be a 2007.

So where's Romanov's car? Is it being employed in Germany?

Just checked the cars history with the team:

2009: WTCC Kristian Poulsen
2008: DTC Jesper Sylvest
2007: DTC Philip Andersen

So Poulsen´s WTCC car is a 2007 E90 car, bought from Team Essex Invest.

Engstlers team is also running two cars in German Procar. A E90 and an old E46. Maybe this E90 is Romanov's car?
