JIM Griffin??? Who??

Roger Moen's a good driver. Better than Carl Breeze in a touring car sense. Although Carl is clearly the better singleseater driver.

Always good to see more cars on the grids and more drivers aspiring to the BTCC.

He aims to do a 'very reasonable deal' for an up and coming talent on the 2nd car and is open to approaches.

I only mentioned the Lexus' because of the crowd pleasing factor. How competitive can this team expect the 406s to be? Is their budget anywhere near what Vic Lee had? If not, wouldn't the Lexus create more attention being RWD, seemingly popular etc......if your going to lose you might as well look good doing it

I would feel very sorry for VLR if these 406's do race and are as good as these 307's. But, to be fair to VLR - this year its a sort of testing year for the new 307's, next year they will be race winners!
