Russians wanted to host an ETCC event too. About a month ago RAF released a provisional RTCC calendar. The final round - Lipetsk street race - claimed to be run together with ETCC. The date for the event would be 24-26 September or 1-3 October.

I'm pretty certain we'll see no BTCC entries. Look how many have entered in the past when its comes at the end of the season.

Many as in Plato's SEAT? That's the only one I can remember off the top of my head. I know GR Asia always went there, but mostly in the capacity as a WTCC Independent team.

Two of these events are the week before BTCC rounds. Most teams wouldn't want to risk writing off a car in what appears to be a near meaningless series.

Thats the key point yes, if the teams think they can make a profit out of it if they manage to win a couple of races or atleast be in top3 and make some money out of it, they will go, otherwise its all about if their respective sponsors wants to pay for an international campaign, and I guess most dont. But we'll see!

James Thompson to defend his ETC Cup crown by the looks of things, as well as DTC, ScandivanianTCC and selected WTCC outings:
http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/80918 He's going to be a busy boy, but at least its all with the same team this time |

BTCC DTC STCC NezCup WTF are they thinking? Lets make sure nobody from these championships can come? On top of everything, it's the race event that is the most likely to get entrants from the above, since it's by far the closest one (all other are taking place basically on the other side of Europe). Is it perhaps deliberate to make it much harder for B/D/STCC/NezCup teams to participate?!? Are they that desperate to make sure the winner is from Italy/Spain/Whatever? |

Have to agree with you stedevil, with this move I cant really see anyone from Sweden, Britain or Denmark doing any of the ETC rounds.

If I read that correctly Oschersleben now have rounds of WTCC, ETCC and Procar at the same meeting. I wonder if it's all going to be separate races or maybe combine ETCC and Procar.
Sounds like it's going to be a bit of an S2000 festival. I'm almost tempted to start planning a trip. |

PS The really funny thing is that one can participate in both WTCC and ETCC without race clashes. :P |

Maybe there were few teams (if any) from the clashing formulae that were going to compete. Not that that's a good sign for the cup either if true - but the move makes little sense otherwise. |

I wouldn't be surprised if they were all combined.

It's all very well sitting there and complaining about clashing events but how about I set you a challenge. Find 4 weekends that don't have any clashes with BTCC, DTC, STCC, NezCup, Procar or WTCC, then find 4 venues available on those dates. |

Super easy, set the dates 8+ months before season starts then STICK TO THEM. Then it's the lower series that need to make their next years schedule to avoid clashes. Changing dates, just 1-2mo before all the series starts, leaves absolutely no wiggling room for anybody else to adapt. |

I expect that the other 'lower' series will feel much the same. BTW, I noticed you've actually avoided answering the challenge. |
