So quite an appealing package for those who still believe RWD is the future of BTCC

Surely the fact Warren Scott has a say in driver choice at 888 BMR and BKR could mean we see drivers switching between those much like Red Bull and Torro Rosso in F1

The Lancia Delta was sold in the UK as a Chrysler but hasn't been on sale for nearly 2 years. There as much chance of this happening as seeing an Austin Allegro NGTC car.

That would be great, especially if they made having a competition version of the Quartic steering wheel compulsory!

An Austin Aggro estate to take on Scooby Doo. Would have to be piloted by Rob Austin, and be RWD. With the engine at the back too...

See the attachment - from the OKI Print My Ride/Motorbase tutorial video. That'll get the rumour mill spinning nicely.

That's my contribution for the year, laters.

Bravo sir, Bravo.

Would love to see that, can't beat getting some new models on the grid. Would be a strange move considering all the work that's gone in to the Ecoboost Ford Engine though. I'd be happy with just the Focus getting it's face-lift finally!

I think they were hoping that Ford would bite and offer some support, particularly as they are running the Ecoboost which is the engine Ford are promoting in their models, but it didn't happen.

Added to which the new version of the NGTC engine has been proved to be quick in other cars and a lot of the development costs of doing your own engine is negated if TOCA cut the boost because it is deemed to quick!

I would imagine a Subaru type deal from Alfa is possible as they would not put in big budget as they are still low volume sales in the UK, but they are bringing on more dealers as they are consolidating FCA brands into dealerships, for example our local FIAT dealership are now FIAT, Alfa, Arbarth and Jeep 'retailers'.

would probably be keen on using hospitality programme to fund part of this which they would mark up to the dealers nearest the circuits and 'encourage' them to take a certain number of places...
