Peugeot to come back to the right touring car racing
Here it is, in portugese.
That means that Peugeot leaves the silhouette formula and joins Bmw Seat Vauxhall and Alfa in the real touring car racing. |

Peugeot vs Bmw and Seat, with (we can still hope they won't go for the dtm) Alfa Romeo.
What a cool view for Touring Cars coming back |

The more competitors the better. As long as someone start's beating Dani's Alfa's, that's fine with me.
Did I miss the Nissan annoncement? Or was it that 'ugliest' touring car thread I remember for the Nissan Primera? Why can't Renault run a touring car - the new(ish) Laguna's gorgeous [in preference to not letting Nissan have a go]. All these new shaped ug'-mobiles - (the Primera, the Vectra) make me ill. Haven't seen the 407 yet. |

Yeah, just found it... If I did this... Would you think it was an Aston Martin? Okay - I know Renault do a lot. But they're not doing any major Touring Car series with either Nissan or the Renault marque at the minute. They did F1 & BTCC at the same time before. As well as Rally, Clio's, Formula Renault etc... I don't think it's any bother to them. |

The STCC spec Volvo's are eligible I believe for the ETCC, just recently when people have run them, they haven't been competitive - even when Prodrive were running them.

But wouldn't a 407 have even a tougher time in S2000? Except for the STW, the 406s really had trouble keeping up in the ST/S2000.

Who build the STW and BTCC cars? If I am right they were 2 different cars.
STW: Peugeot Sport? BTCC: ? Last edited by FIRE; 9 May 2004 at 10:35. |

indeed it could be . but the difference in performance could be relative. maybe in BTCC the oposition was harder . in STW . they had BMW, Opel, AUDI's and rarely a 156(usually far behind exept when Larini raced ) . but in BTCC we had Volvo, Renault, Honda, Ford ..

The BTCC Peugeot 406's were run by Motor Sports Development(s) (MSD) during the Supertouring period.
I don't know what they're up to now. |

Well, we had Aiello. He drove the Nissan Primera to the title in 1999, run by RML - whom now run the Seat Toledo's in the BTCC.
