I wouldn't be too sure, with the BTCC going Super2000 in 2007. I have a feeling they might hang about for another gain some experience with new Leon and then have a shot at the championship in 2007.

That would make sense rd, but the sheer expense of the project may not be justifiable, especially as the WTCC appears to be growing well, and the embarassment of losing to an Independent squad may have done more promotional harm than the race wins did good.

Well, it may be that Richard West's decision (albeit it looked good at the time) to guarantee BTC cars were eligible till the end of 2006 could well be the reason Seat Uk decide to move to the WTCC next year.
However I find this quote interesting from btcc.net: "The BTCC teams’ meeting also agreed, for 2006: - to increase the base-weight of BTC-spec cars to 1175kg while maintaining the difference in base weight between BTC and S2000-spec cars as that which existed at the end of the 2005 season, for the start of the 2006 season " Well we all know SEAT were more competitive as the year went on, but I really hope for the good of the championship they stay. |
