Hard to believe = Jaguar to join the BTCC in 2008!
Hard this. Might work some of those in though.

Problem with the BTCC are those ones that say they'll definately be in it - but are talking rubbish (Like that football Astra coupe from last year I've already forgotten). Wouldn't want those to appear higher than our quiet but more certain entrants e.g. SEAT, GR Asia etc.

And whoops - forgot Martyn Bell, thanks.

The football team team should be in the 'Stated interest' section! Three stars.

They had the cars but not the drivers. Same as the young lad that was suppossed to be coming out in the Alfa.

The only sections that should be of any real substance are the top two, four and five stars!

Confirmed and sure as hell will be on track.
Very strong sensible rumours OR stated interest but may not happen.
And the Pope is confirmed to be his team-mate in a tuktuk

Hmm that civic wasnt all that good back in 2006, so a good result in 2008 looks pretty distant, still, more colour at the rear of the grid the better!
Shame nobody has actually stepped up and entered a Chevvy yet.

It seems like the Lacetti is a good car, although it may put some Vauxhall noses out of joint ...

All season I wondered why Martyn Bell was so off the pace in the BMW, was it just the driver wasn't up to speed, or more "car problems"?

Such a waste of a gorgeous car...

A bit of both. Plus Schnitzer took all the good trick bits off the car when they sold it to him probably.

I'm pretty sure WSR are going to run two cars next year, it's just if it's the OC or not in the second car.

Max Chilton's been testing for Hitech in F3 recently, so I don't think he'll give up his F1 ambition just yet.

Alfa Fan has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
If BTC do run, I would say Chris Stockton is a certainty for one of the drives.

Chevy? Audi? Maybe it's a pair of VAZs? Ovlovs? A pair of C30s isn't out of the question as they are making some to sell.
