I don't think it is too much of a stretch to assume a motor racing magazine would be watching some motor racing, no.

The real question is why will you be there, and also will you dare show them a crazy TBK BTCC thread during your time there :p

TGR?


Andy Shuttleworth and Rob Hedley were planning to enter this year with two 888 Vectra's.


And now we know where the cars have gone.

Which is exactly my point. RML has been one of the most popular teams over the last 15-20 years. Plato's (and MacDowell's) behaviour doesn't reflect that of the team. If you ever have any thoughts of hatred towards RML just think of this and those thoughts will quickly disappear...

Airwaves/Motorbase whatever you call them is aiming to get 3 Focuses out this year. Keen to retain Jackson, Griffin and possibly Caine.

The BTCC Facebook page has a MG gallery up.

Forgive my ignorance but has Plato ever raced an MG before?

Not in BTCC, and I doubt he did in support races.

If you read the release though it's just a mockup. Not official. Even then though, still an awful looking design.


On another note, I miss the MG's that looked like BMW's.

Now there's a surprise. Time for Neate to step up a bit.

Mock image says Plato's car is #99, which I thought was Ollie Jackson's...

Where does this leave RML? And Nash? :(

As ugly as that looks I am happy to see MG back in the championship as I was quite a fan of theirs before.

Even with Plato as their driver I'm happy to see them back too :p

Divided loyalties lol

So would this be the first Chinese manufacturer in the BTCC?

Great news that we have MG in the series. And I quite like the look of the cars too.

I want to see your reaction when MG and Plato win :lol:

I like the MG, but it does remind me of a VW Jetta

I imagine its going to be a bit like when he first came back with SEAT, a few isolated wins here and there but not really ready for a full title campaign until next year.

Fortunately he can't milk the reverse grid rules to his advantage this time! :p
