All the entries I have listed have substancial media reports behind them. All apart from;
Michael Wilson GBR Butler Motorsport BMW 320i E46 Possible The source of this was over at BTCCPages.com, and was posted as a rumour of which I have heard nothing since. Thus its rated as a possiblity, no more, no less. TBA DW Racing UK Alfa Romeo 156 Possible BTCCPages.com have a news story about them, this is where I got this entry from. Its listed as a possiblity because of that. I personally don't think its likely at all, but I've listed it nevertheless. John George GBR Mardi Gras Motorsport Peugeot 406 Coupe Possible Didn't participate in 05 due to Vic Lee's drug scandal. Was hoping to run in 06. Richard Marsh GBR Team FirstServe Group Honda Civic Type-R Possible TBA Team FirstServe Group Honda Civic Type-R Possible Snippet on BTCCInfo.com is the basis of these entries. |

Dan Eaves at WSR?!!? Thats a bit of a surprise! Would have thought Dynamics would have wanted t keep him, he was a good teammate to Neal, put in some good performances. Glad Howell's got a confirmed seat this year.

Actually it's not mentioned on that page, but I assume you are refering to the John Batchelor reference. If so then I would take it with a very large pinch of salt. Marsh owns one car but that's it, so where is the second coming from. |

Ok, they'd previously said they wanted to run a BTCC team alongside a British GT team. I put down the Vauxhall as the car purely because they were running a GM product in the British GTs.

if you read the article / interview with dan eaves on btccinfo, at this stage it looks very unlikely he'll get a drive as he has no or little funding the 2nd motorbase car is not 'likely', its a possible plan, alfa fan how comes you've listed extra cars for a few of the teams like seat? |

I presume you mean for SEAT, Dynamics and WSR.
SEAT haven't categorically ruled out a third car, and I think if someone were to come along with the right finance a third entry may be run. Dynamics are likely to run three cars again this year, although the second and third both need a partly funded driver. A fourth cars been rumoured, but I don't think its very likely, thus its only down as a possiblity. WSR were reported in Autosport to be keen on a third entry, saying that demand for drives has exceeded expectation. The article indicated a third car was a reasonable possibility. |

I think it is 99.99% certain that Seat will NOT run a 3rd car, probably because they can't get another new car. If they did, they would be more likely to give it to one of the unlucky trio from the shoot-out than to a paying driver.

Well there's going to be 9 Leons running as it is. It wouldn't be that hard to build a 10th? (Isn't it likely that they'll have several spares ready to build up anyway, just in case one's written off?)

DW Racing UK are close to annoucing a deal that will see them run a pair of Alfa Romeo 156s in the BTCC in 2006.

If you look at the interview with Dennis Scott you will see that they are willing to sell last year's cars which should still be competitive

That said there are a lot of Toledos left and I understand SEAT are offering some good deals n them so we may see a few in privateer hands. Quote:
As a couple of further updates Ian Curley and Motorbase have spoken but it was never more than a preliminary chat and nothing ever came of it. Curley would like to do BTCC again but his plans don't fit in with what Motorbase are doing. If we do see him back again it will not be with Motorbase and it will not be in a Honda. Also don't count on Eaves being back just yet. He doesn't have the budget to stay with Dynamics and from what I've heard is struggling to get the money to go anywhere else. |

Do manufacturers still have to nominate 3 cars for points? Or can the top cars score points without needing to be nominated? |
