I'd imagine the difference in price between an 18 month old Focus and a spanking new multi-championship-winning Civic would be significant...

The problem with a fans trophy is, it just ends up getting decided by those twitter users!

It's also proof that UA are professional. Hoping that with the tighter entry regulations the BTCC becomes more professional than it has been recently without losing the club spirit and accessibility it currently has.

I don't think that was ever in doubt. Most people following motorsport will have heard of United Autosports.

There is still so much that is unknown. The opening part of 2014, and Autosport International, may be very interesting indeed...

The Autosport International should be amazing. Plenty of BTCC and British GT stuff to catch up with, and of course the announcement of the Superstars Series incarnate of 2014-

Given the full season entry requirements, I think a lot of drivers who might have gone down the Team Hard route will be having to consolidate their budgets since Gilham is presumably going to be insisting on full season payments to ensure they don't lose their licences.

I do wonder if we will see the much demanded TV qualifying on ITV4.

I doubt it but let's see...

When you say new build, do you mean new from the ground up? As it doesn't say so on that link. I assume the shell is pre-prepped with a rebuild by UA only?

Shell and roll cage will have been fabricated by GPRM I'm guessing and the car final assembly will be done by United. Putting the TOCA parts together and onto the shell doesn't take long at all.

It's new and has never been used, a new build in my opinion.

I think you can rule him out because he won't get an entry into the championship.

Much demanded by whom?
ITV is a commercial entity. If there was any demand, it would already be on TV.

Turkington in Autosport: "I'm making progress but its tough. I'm a lot more confidant I will be there this time around. The BTCC is where I should be. There are a few different options, but I'm confidant I will make the right choice".
