Three manufacturers next year.

**touringlegend** · 6 Jan 2001, 17:37 (Ref:56725)

There's a feature in this weeks Autosport, 'three wise men'. In there Rob Bain says he has got 3 manufacturers verbally signed up for next year.

Larsen · 6 Jan 2001, 19:07 (Ref:56748)

We all know who the manufacturers are going to be.

VAUXHALL
PEUGEOT
ROVER (SECOND HALF OF SEASON)
VOLVO (LAST 3 RACES BUT NOT CONFIRMED)
ALFA ROMEO
LEXUS
can the list go any further!

I reckon official manufacturers entries for 2002 will be:

- VAUXHALL (with reigning champion Yvan Muller and 2001 runner-up Jason Plato)!
- PEUGEOT
- ROVER
- VOLVO
- ALFA ROMEO
- VW

I doubt VW will enter!

Renault were to return in 2001, and they said so in the Autosport Mag that they will or might return in 2001

2002
wt (work's teams)
it (indie teams)

Vauxhall wt/it
peugeot wt
alfa it
lexus it
renault wt
toyota wt (all there motorsport kick off in 2002, f1)
volvo wt
ford wt
audi wt

(hopefully some 2001 production teams will go for touring class)

Vauxhall have already won 2001,
my only worry for 2002 is the fact that the etcc (euro series) will be using the super production rules!
so will the teams go for the euro instad of brit!?

BIG UP TO YOU VAUXHALL FANS!

Larsen · 6 Jan 2001, 19:50 (Ref:56784)

I want to see Peugeot win with the 406 coupe u la la
Vauxhall won't win it!

vauxhall · 6 Jan 2001, 19:57 (Ref:56786)

Take a look at the vauxhall! go on enjoy!

i know its not the same rules and teams etc..

but they did well @ DTM

and even the people on TOP GEAR liked to drive it!

2001 championship final standings:

1)vauxhall - muller (already had experience in astras)
2)vauxhall - plato (err...hes...er.. good)
3)rest:
blar
blar
mean while behind production class:

30)peugeot - neil
31)peugeot - eaves
32)peugeot - soper

Larsen · 6 Jan 2001, 20:02 (Ref:56790)

Peugeot have a better drivers like
Matt Neal the King
Dan Eaves the Driver of the Future
Steve Soper the great driver who returned for vengeance.

Vauxhall have only got
Yvan Muller the ice champ
Jason Plato britains hope

so who is the 3rd driver

Sodemo · 6 Jan 2001, 20:15 (Ref:56794)

How confirmed are the other teams (excluding Vauxhall & Peugeot) there is no reason to assume any other manufactureres (sp) are to enter. The Rover setup is shakey at best, Volvo (merely a rumour) as is VW.

don't count the chickens before they hatch!

vauxhall · 6 Jan 2001, 20:48 (Ref:56799)

Yvan Muller : best car control ive ever seen
Jason plato : 3rd (almost 2nd) in 1st year
Vauxhall is a fan fav.

Peugeot quit after dommit like 4 years basically because there ****.
matt neal indie king (only one who ever enters nemore!)
dan eaves (who?)
soper (what a prat, speaks slow and like eddie izard)

Larsen · 6 Jan 2001, 20:52 (Ref:56801)

You don't know who Dan Eaves is, have you seen the final rounds at Silverstone during 2000

vauxhall · 6 Jan 2001, 20:57 (Ref:56804)

i prefer to watch the super tourers
not the LITTLE ROLLER SKATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Larsen · 6 Jan 2001, 21:02 (Ref:56806)

the super production has good racing. I like the super production cars.
