I'll will belive it when I see it....

Neil Adams · 31 Jan 2006, 19:36 (Ref:1512966)

ditto - i mean last year he registered a place on the entry list and never even turned up, same story with the brilliance wtcc 'campaign'

aland · 31 Jan 2006, 19:52 (Ref:1512978)

who owned the civic type r that Richard Marsh drove, I know the pug was ex vic lee now owned by Julian Griffin

**Craig** · 31 Jan 2006, 19:57 (Ref:1512982)

I believe Richard owned it himself but it was impounded by the authorities last year after the VLR raid (it was being looked after by Vic)

The ATCC Altezza is a different chassis design to the Lexus IS200 race car with SE uses, but to the lay-man, its a Lexus IS

Don't you mean they're the same chassis, but built to different race rules?

andy_b · 1 Feb 2006, 01:21 (Ref:1513159)

nope. As I understand it. the SE cars were built by themselves. I suspect someone in Asia built the ATCC cars

sharpy · 1 Feb 2006, 12:13 (Ref:1513426)

Does anyone know what Seat have done with last seasons Toledo's?? I would have thought that someone would have bought one to run privately.

Seems a waste if they are now going to be sitting at the back of the factory!!

Craner Curves · 1 Feb 2006, 19:22 (Ref:1513717)

They're in Spain.

Alwaysfirst · 1 Feb 2006, 22:30 (Ref:1513851)

Can somebody post a list of confirmed/very likely drivers and teams please.

Craner Curves · 1 Feb 2006, 22:46 (Ref:1513860)

Come on Alfa Fan, we know you want to.

Neil Adams · 2 Feb 2006, 09:27 (Ref:1514082)

the link below has all the officially confirmed drivers, i chosen to remove the 'likely' ones as that tends to be quite subjective

PS Status' refer to entry, not the drivers. The drivers are my best guess at who will drive the cars where no drivers have been annouced.

pink69 · 2 Feb 2006, 19:07 (Ref:1514398)

Is Gavin Smith definitely confirmed at VXR? It'll be a hell of a year if 75% of that list is confirmed let all 100%

Alfa Fan · 2 Feb 2006, 19:12 (Ref:1514403)

Its not been categorically stated that he is the third driver. But various sources have claimed he signed the contract last week.

aland · 2 Feb 2006, 19:56 (Ref:1514421)

no chance of Jonathan Adam/TCR in an astra, Jonathan is looking at doing Seat's if he can get funding. With TCR of course

redshoes · 2 Feb 2006, 20:35 (Ref:1514441)

Have nominations for the Booker Prize closed yet? I think we've found the winner.

maximus · 2 Feb 2006, 20:51 (Ref:1514455)

Looks to be a very healthy grid this year, theres going to be at least 26 by the sounds! I'll be there at Oulton Park and possibly Donington. Can't wait!

HA HA PMSL. Post of the week

BootsOntheSide · 3 Feb 2006, 16:56 (Ref:1514922)

Exactly which of thsoe entries do you not consider confirmed/possible/likely?

redshoes · 3 Feb 2006, 17:55 (Ref:1514960)

Aside from maybe Xero, just about everything below James Kaye and a few above him as well. Ay best one or two might make the odd guest appearance later in the year but most will never be heard of again.

It's a question of how possible is possible. It's possible I might win the EuroMillions lottery tonight and enter a car myself. Maybe you should add my name to the list as well.

Alfa Fan · 3 Feb 2006, 18:03 (Ref:1514965)

On the scale I've used though, possible ranges from about 1%-50%. They're classed as possible as there has been at least one media report about their entry.

The request was for a list on confirmed/very likely, which you list, by your own admission, very definately isn't. Is there was a scale of possibility you've made no mention of it until now.

I may have missed them but I don't recall seeing any real media reports about a lot of these possibles. I hope you are not including every internet rumour. Actually all you are doing is helping to start/spread more rumours.

Neil's latest list is a lot more realistic.
