But the major problem is to find about 1 million Euro in about 1 month for a relatively unknown driver. |

In 2001, Alfa Corse merged with Nordauto. They ran together until 2005 when, at the end of the season, Alfa abandoned WTCC as works team. Subsequently, N.Technology ran the 156s between 2006 and 2007 before switching to Hondas.
Nordauto ran solo from 1994 (when Alfa Corse left the Italian championship joining BTCC) to 2000. But the team was really close to Alfa Corse, at least starting from 1996 because in 1995 Alfa Corse returned in the Italian championship and Nordauto was considered like a semi-official team (as for Euroteam in 1994, for example). |

But personally I didn't dislike Nagy in Red Bull-Ring's TCR, third in qualifying not bad |

The best choice would be Tamás Pál Kiss...great talented driver but with no budget unfortunately!
I like also Ferenc Ficza! |

What about Norbert Nagy?
He has one 3rd place (in 4 races) in 2014 ETCC TC2 Class and then on final on Pergusa he scored two wins in Leon Supercopa. |

But Lada could avoid visibility of the presence in 2010. Also didn't pay a penalty for an early exit. Speculation speaks that Lada promised to return in two-three years therefore there was no penalty. The promise of Lada was kept)) |

Honda gave small money for development and operation of the car. It was the test season and the decision on it was passed negative. |

Tom Coronel wants to return in WTCC. Probably Munich's team or ROAL again.

Out of interest, how much would it cost say JAS to build a new Civic?

based on this article http://www.fiawtcc.com/who-goes-wher...-wtcc-in-2016/ we have 9 "done deals" (2xCitroen, 3xHonda, 2xVolvo, 2xSLR) and "more news soon":
- 3 Lada (I'd guess Catsburg, Tarquini, Valente) - 1 Münnich (rumor is there maybe 2, D'Aste and Münnich himself?) - 2 Campos (no idea on drivers) - 1 more SLR car (most likely Chilton) - 1 Nika (I still have my doubts, driver?) - 2 ROAL (Coronel and ?) - 1 Zengo (young hungarian talent) that would make 20 in total, doesn't sound too bad |

20 is a respectable grid, but you'd have hoped it would have grown a bit more by now. I know WTCC is expensive but the BTCC is fully subscribed at 32 cars.

BTCC costs a fraction of WTCC though. So does TCR.
Are you paying attention Mr. Ribeiro? |

Now, Bamboo already aimed for TCR instead of WTCC and I think also Campos will do so. Ribeiro definitively killed the category, thank you so much François. |
