The hatchs were cut and shut into the estates.

But no, the Hatch was present with the Tourer. Also to be brutally honest, I feel Moffats making a mistake. He's too inexperienced for the BTCC right now.

They had a hatch and and estate doing back to back to see the difference before the other gets done.

Aidens fine he will learn, he nearly beat us in the fiestas by winning 9 of the last 10 races!!!
 
He did manage to get points last season against experienced drivers so I think he has a bright future, he just needs to keep on impressing.

Couldn't agree more. I mean seriously, he's only a couple of years older than me, and i'm a child. I'm not saying he isn't talented, but he should give it some time before jumping into BTCC of all things.

Just curious to what you think he should do?

He's done karting, he's done the national fiesta championship, the Scottish fiesta championship, the Scottish mini championship, the ginetta juniors and the btcc before he was 17.

He is extremely mature for his age( in fact more mature than me) and is a very mature driver as well beating people 3 times his age.

Keep doing other series until he has a lot more experience. It's not just another club series he's entering, it's BTCC.
 
What I mean is it's very high profile. He needs to wait it out a year or two and continue to improve.
 
Reminds me of when Hamilton and Rosberg were rising through the ranks and Hamilton stayed an extra year in Formula 3 Euro Series to improve despite strong showings while Rosberg who narrowly beat him went to GP2 while he stayed there. Then he went to GP2 and won and was a much better driven once he signed for 2007.

How hard can it be?

If he tweaked the e spares sponsorship a bit, making it white and reducing it in size, i'd love it.

Dunno about the worst but it will be hard to tell apart from the Pirtek cars on TV.

You do realise that is the other Pirtek car?
 
Is it? Shows how much I know.
 
Depper is Jordan's new teammate.
 
Yeah, it's the same basic livery - orange chevrons on blue.
 
I just thought he bought an old Pirtek or something. Thanks for correcting.
 
I really want to see a comparison shot between the Civic Tourer and Civic Hatch.
 
There is one in the article GOTMAXPOWER linked to.
 
According to Honda specs, the Civic Tourer is 235mm longer than the 5 door hatch. I would say thats not bad but thats 235mm extra bodywork to haul.

They'll all be ballasted up to a minimum weight anyway. The extra size won't make a difference. I assume the wheel-base is the same.
 
Civic tourer is beginning to look good.
 
The BMW and Audi look so good in 'stealth mode'.
