Strawman Andy
Thought he had a contract with Redstone for 2013?

He's a pay driver so it all depends on if his sponsors can bring in the money.


I'm going for Matt and Aron in ngtc Liam in the s2000.

I seem to remember somewhere saying that Liam Griffin has packed it in this year?

Me too, I thought it was just Mat and Áron racing for Redline. Think it might have been in Motorsport News and/or Autosport. Definatly read it though, some where.

Super Touring lasted around 7 years, BTC specs lasted around 10 IIRC?

Class II, or Supertouring, was 9 years/10 seasons. 1991-2000.
BTC for the overall title was 5 years/6 seasons. 2001-2006.

Andy Neate owns the team, he is basically running his own car. Where does he get all that money?:crazy:

I know! British GT, BTCC and now his own BTCC team! Must have loads of sponsors?
 
Shame that NGTC Cruze will never get a good driver behind the wheel.
 
I thought Neate was building the NGTC Cruze? Or am I getting myself mixed up.

He is, but so is Chris Stockton. Basically RML started developing an NGTC shell, but never finished because they pulled out of the BTCC. So Andy Neate has bought one of them, same for Chris Stockton. I think it was just the shell, not sure how far they got into building them.

Then there's going to be an S2000 Cruze with NGTC engine by used by Tech Speed.
 
I think Stockton's/BTC's is a Cruze hatchback instead of the saloon?

I see nothing confirmed but there seems to be stronger rumors on Stockton having a hatchback it seems, as RML were basically it on a newer model of the Cruze apparently. So what type is Andy Neate going for? Is he going for the one that was used for S2000 Cruze's but making it into a NGTC body/equipment?

I don't suppose a source is out of the question?

On other news. One of the most unspectacular and expected news in the BTCC...

Think the ST should be fast. I know Motorbase has worked on developing the car and getting things right.

Maybe google or actually looking on the btcc.net site that your posting the link from because the info is on there from months ago ;)
 
Stockton and BTC struggling?

BTC Racing ‏@teambtcracing
Entry for @btcc to be sent tomorrow. Massive amounts still to do, but we are on each bit and Brands is not impossible
 
Well we can probably count them out of the media day at Donington. Hopefully Lea Wood confirms his plans soon too, would be a shame to lose him from the grid as well.

Interesting to see the photos of the NGTC Cruze, looks very nice - hope they can build it in time.👍
