Well they picked the best time since Arena finally seemed to work out how to get those cars near the pace at Brands.

Ford Vs Volvo for BTCC 2010?

I think this is DEFINATELY GOING TO HAPPEN!

(And there'll be 30 cars on the grid too )

Maybe Alan "The 70s timewarp" Morrison will return

It wont be a full works team, more semi-works. And Ford are apparently looking at selling Volvo which would take any issues on that front away. And Ford had a large group at Brands.....

Another new team.

Thats good news. Good to get more Beemers on the grid as well.

Colin Turkington will be on Radio 2 in about 25 minutes

As I was walking through Cheltenham city centre earlier today with the wife and son I noticed 3 BMW X1s being parked and demo'ed in rather an odd spot. One drove off and as the three of us walked past I saw a rather familiar person showing a Ninendo Wii game from the boot of one of the cars. It was Paul O'Neill, dressed in BMW corporate gear. I walked on a little further and turned back to look again only to see Tom Onslow-Cole also in BMW gear doing the same but with the second car. I thought it was quite cool to see them both.

SuperStats (from BTCC.net)

Fifteen drivers racing for nine different teams in seven different models of car achieved outright podium results. Two of those drivers (Jelley and Nash) were new faces on the podium… In all, 24 of the 29 drivers to contest the series – four of them for the first time – managed finishes inside the hallowed top ten to score points on the overall championship table.

That's quite strange considering neither are BMW drivers.

It is just promo stuff. Neither of them are tied to manufacturers in the series so are free to do pretty much any promo work that comes their way, plus they'll get a decent chunk of £££ for these days.
