Ignore the white car that's the third e90 they still haven't sold or the ex-motorbase car they had as a ride car.

Possible clue to the new BMW livery in the background. They appear to have red roofs.

Same as 2013. The The colour stripe going from the headlights, up the A-pillar and along the top of the doors was green on the LH side and red on the RH side. Viewed side on it looks like the roof is red http://flic.kr/p/e54p9W

Was just about to say the same. Only noticeable that the blue side stripe is no longer there?

You can't tell. Sections of the floats roll cage and panelling, plus the people in the photo are precisely where the blue stripes would be visible.

Looking forward to this season, good to see high-quality drivers like Hynes getting good seats.

Looks like we're going to see a 'Power Maxed Racing' VW Passat entry. Anyone have an idea on drivers/team (could be part of the Warren Scott entry?)

It's a CC. Of course it's Warren Scott...

It would explain the 'rebranding' of the team that's been mentioned by Gilham then.

First pictures of the Cicely Racing Mercedes in the workshop are on BTCC's Facebook page. Looks really good from the front!
If all goes to plan, they want to be out testing at the end of February according to Adam Morgan.

Photos of the car at ABS Motorsport getting it's body kit crafted. Apologies for the eBay BMW link, it just looked a little bit different and they will have a revised livery this year.

WSR as a whole intruige me. The whole driver line-up is a mystery, a lot of candidates. And then there is the livery, personally I reckon they will just colour in the eBay logos on the doors.

Sodemo · 25 Jan 2014, 11:13 (Ref:3358387)

I prefer the old ebay logo, the new one just lacks character and seems bland.

You still have to remember that there is likely to be five champions lining up on the grid, any more is a bonus.

by my count it's
1) Jordan
2) Neal
3) Shedden
4) Plato
5) Turkington

Everyone has been banging on about five champions. I stick by my wait till Wednesday mantra.

Not quite the correct order in terms of ability, but no.1 is correct by my books

For yet another season I'll be cheering on the 77, unless AJ picks the "number 1"

You'll be very glad to know that he's carrying both then.

Large yellow 1 with a small 77 printed on the bottom of the 1

That's a bit harsh on Warren Scott

he is more than a no-name pay driver, he's a team owner too

It's Team BMR - http://www.teambmr.com/

HARD and BMR have 'merged'. 2nd driver announced shortly (or at least 'teased' shortly, announcement this evening?)

porsche962fan · 27 Jan 2014, 15:32 (Ref:3360538)

teaser video from BMR Restart

they claim 1 double champion and 2 race winners and Indy wins !!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZG5ak...ature=youtu.be

if they refer to BTCC double champion can mean only Alain Menu or Fabrizio Giovanardi

Thats brought the shortlist down to just a few hundred then.

ckBrenneke · 27 Jan 2014, 15:40 (Ref:3360542)

Any chance we may see Lea Wood at BMR?

sharpy · 27 Jan 2014, 15:40 (Ref:3360543)

Couldn't double BTCC champion also mean winning the outright Championship and also the Independent title?? i.e. Turkington.
