What series is that? Is that the same thing as BelCar? If not, what other cars race there?

What's happening with the DTM entry? Was the car designed from inside out to be a MG? Or could any manufacturer right now just lay down the Euros and slap a bodyshell on the chassis??

I'm still curious about how accurate the MG entry for 2005 is, there's 2 months to go until Hockenhiem and nothing concrete has really been announced.

Has the car even been tested yet?

Does anyone know what actually happened to that DTM Volvo built by Zakspeed?

They used it at the 24 Hours of the Nurnburgring in 2000 or 2001.

It's a shame the car didn't get to race in the DTM or anywhere else other than the Nurbringing 24hrs. It must have a real waste of money!

Last I heard was that MG were still thinking whether or not they want to be involved in the project, particularly now that they would have to part with some money to be recognised as a manufacturer entry.

With so many other things on their plate, I would think being involved in the DTM is way down their list of priorities.

racingdad has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
Can't see MGR putting their own money in, but the could endorse the local German MGR importer's entry (and use his money!)

The MG for DTM began work in the wind tunnel about three weeks ago. They do not intend to be ready for the first race, they realise it's practically impossible.

Has there been any new regulations to the DTM cars which would make them slower this year?

Was this project not payed by Opel?

A sister company of Zakspeed lost also money because of the collapse of V8Stars.

MG have given the go-ahead.

They're targetting Mark Blundell or Johnny Herbert for the lead car, with a German driver in the second.
