Making his BTCC debut this weekend is young driver Lee Linford. The 26-year-old breaks into the Class B ranks behind the wheel of a Touring Car VIP Club Peugeot 306 GTi to support that division's leader Alan Morrison. It is a big jump for Hyundai World Rally Championship team technician Linford, who has not raced this season but last year competed in a national one-make GT sportscar championship, where he won ten out of 14 races.

why waste the car on a technician? - get Will Hoy in it.

No, which prompts the question of what the hell is he doing in the car instead of Will Hoy.

Let's for one BTCC weekend forget the MULLER!! chanting and change the tune to WILL HOY!!
This guy is the Roberto Moreno (ie. 'Super-sub') of the Championship, which does beg the question of why he's not in the car. And why is the team only running one car at most meetings? Class B is supposed to allow for more cars, with its lower costs. Surely the Championship-leading team has some more dosh than that... WILL HOY!! WILL HOY!! |
