.....or are we expecting a real shocker of a driver announcement- money outweighing talent to a degree never yet seen in the BTCC....?

I think the announcement Les is referring to will illustrate the fact that the BTCC has lost its credibility as a Premier saloon car series, to become a media controlled circus driven by marketing departments and money!!

I just can't believe that a team could throw away a real chance of winning the championship let alone the independent championship for a ruddy 'name.'
 Well sod the touring cars - I'm going to be sticking with my proddies and Clios. |

Is this about TMSR?
Speaking of which, there's something very strange on their website... http://www.totalmotorsportracing.com...play.asp?ID=15 |

Either they've been hacked or there's something funny in the water supply.
Is this something to do with the second barwell seat? |

Who's got the seat then? I take it that it wasn't one of the drivers listed as being considered in Autosport etc.

I guess that the way this is heading is that Dave Pinkney has had the chance to drive a Barwell Astra, but now Barwell have decided to run one. An absolute guess...

From the posts by other members in the thread I'm guessing that there will be a second car, but the seat has gone to some-one who is well known, maybe from the TV? Has very little (if any) experience and is there to get publicity/generate mor esponsorship. Am I close?

I think Touring Fan may be right on this one- is could be a TV personailty or an old F1 driver way past there sell by date entering the series?????
it isn't Dave Pinkney that wouldn't be a waste of a seat neither would Tom Ferrier or Chris Goodwin. Llooks like another a waste of a seat to me what a fine line up Chilton BTCC races err zero, and some other driver with probably err zero BTCC races. |

Let me just throw in one suggestion. Les said it was about a name, and has hinted that the driver isn't good in Touring Cars. To me, this only says one thing - Nigel Mansell

actually I would quite like Mansell in a car - I need a tee-shirt signing
 I am keeping quiet as there is just a glimmer of a chance... |
