Even with my limited knowledge of the mechanics of a touring car, I know that the reliability and performance of parts for a model must only have to get better, and so to have up-to-date and more efficient parts in a car of a year where the parts for that years model would not be as efficient, has to be a good thing. |

I heard a news a few days ago that GM Europe will expressly sold the Saab concern. Are there any news from the swedish guys and what will happen if this come true. I thought the most develepment was GM based, The platforms, the engines, ...
And i think if this come true there is no reason for Jan Warnestad to race a Saab Team in the STCC!? |

I really hope they'll use the Golf instead of the Scirocco, but I guess thats idle hope. Good to see another brand appear though

Sounds exciting, however it will be hard to make it before the start of the season

I guess that is why we dont hear about VAG going belly up, they are thinking ahead and have things developed and ready by the time others even realize they are behind/in trouble. Vorsprung durch teknik... Last edited by stedevil; 10 Dec 2008 at 11:04. |

I wonder where this will leave DMS and thier "SEAT deal"? Would VAG support DMS with SEAT support from the Swedish importer for SEAT at the same time as they support Tobias Johansson with a SEAT/VW deal? Or are DMS left out in the cold once again? Could DMS run it without support?
BTW, I drove against Alx Danielsson this weekend in a SLC event. Last edited by PorscheFanNo1; 10 Dec 2008 at 11:39. |

Ofcourse DMS can run without importer support, often the Seat support is a bought consultancy service from Seat Sport.
Show me the money! |

I strongly doubt that any of the money from BTCC and SEAT is involved in this.
I would say that E.ON is most likely to be the major money factor. |

Surely the Seat Sport UK money came from Seat (VAG) UK (not Seat (VAG) Europe) to be run as marketing for them
But they may be saving money for a new car in 2010 a Stedevil said. |

Any reason why it won't be BMS with the Sciroccos?

BecauseTobias Johansson is involved in the project. But of course, Tobias cant drive 2 cars by himself, so I guess we will see next week what they announce.
