I'm wondering why, too. At first I thought it was so they could get a feel for the mechanical grip of the car, but that doesn't make sense because most of the downforce comes from the splitter, not the wing. Removing it would have little affect.

Could we spell WrathAll correctly, please?

Probably just a shakedown run and systems checks and so on. Does seem odd they didn't bolt the wing on though.

The Airbase Focus looks awesome. Much better than the red scheme.

It must have been a shakedown test. That car hasn't been used for at least a year.

Speedworks did run one of their Toyota's a while back with no front bodywork or rear wing to make sure it was all kosha.

Just a reminder that we should finally see the WSR BMW's this morning. The cars won't be liveried.

Some great liveries unveiled so far. I just hope that MG doesn't let themselves down again.

Was hoping the BMW was going to be a 5-door.

For me it looks a lot better than I thought it would. And planted.

Kinda surprised by the BMW, I thought BTCC enforced a 4 door bodyshell?

I thought that was opened up with the NGTC rules. I may be wrong though.

4 door was never enforced but encouraged. 3 and 5 door cars are allowed - as long as the 3 door car has the same roofline as the 5 door car (whiuch is why the BMW is allowed and the AMD Astra isn't).

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this yet. It could turn out to be a great series, although two of the rounds clash with BTCC.
