2004 btcc entry list so far

btcc-lad · 1 Mar 2004, 18:23 (Ref:890422)

http://www.btccpages.com/2004/driv.php its looking ok so far 11 confirmed drivers and three european spec cars thought the rules were changed to make more cars accesable to the btcc oh well we will just have to wait and see

ATF · 2 Mar 2004, 16:21 (Ref:891390)

In addition to those:

Keen is confirmed as #2 Arena Honda
Synchro will run a Civic for Kaye
Kartworld/Hughes are confirmed
Breeze is confirmed with GA

When I say confirmed though, they have announced plans but you can never be sure (eg Carly)!!

But 15 tourers, 3 off the most we've ever had (18 in 2003). 2004 ain't as bad as everyone makes out!

Jonny Apex · 2 Mar 2004, 16:55 (Ref:891428)

Keen: confirmed by a newspaper report. Nothing from Arena and nothing on his site. So not confirmed.

Go to the Justin Keen thread in this forum and I've put a potential list of cars towards the bottom of the first page.

I read on the Sportscar & GT forum that MG Rover will enter a factory car in FIA GT in 2005. See: http://tentenths.com/forum/showthrea...threadid=50930

So I think no factory MG in BTCC this year.

How come they (potentially) have the funds for sportscars but not BTCC or Le Mans?

when the new MG sportcar was first announced it was always planned to race it in GT's. I suppose MG are honouring that pledge at the expense of a fully backed BTCC programme.

Shame, but for a company that needs money and exposure, it might be seen as a more sensible use of funds.

In the MG programme is involved the French MG Rover importer and the team which run Daewoo and Kia in the Ice trophy... I don't remember the name...

I think Prometech is the team behind K(ia?) Motorsport.

Madd_Dogg88 · 6 Mar 2004, 10:58 (Ref:895715)

I've been away, so I missed out on some things, mainly what's happened to Carly Motorsports? Disappointed to hear they're not going to be there, but what's the story behind it?

Hanson and Ferrier couldn't get the money to race in 2004.

**touringlegend** · 6 Mar 2004, 12:58 (Ref:895878)

I thought it was Schnitzer who had a problem with Carly calling the team "Schnitzer Sportscars" ??

They are the same thing.. Prometech it's the old name, now it is K Motorsport, because of Kia

Schnitzer Sportscars is the company of Hanson and Ferrier, they sell Schnitzer BMW road car in UK. But we all know Schnitzer has also a racing department and they were not happy Hanson and Ferrier used their name for the team. But the real reason for not racing in BTCC is money.

Synopsis · 6 Mar 2004, 15:30 (Ref:896003)

In regards to the Hanson Ferrier deal, the money was there. That was not the issue. Glad I cleared that up.

If they have, why aren't they racing in 2004?

Alfa Fan · 6 Mar 2004, 16:42 (Ref:896065)

Who says they aren't? I'd wait until the entry list is released before saying that

touringcarnut · 6 Mar 2004, 17:23 (Ref:896100)

There's always a couple of suprises, deals can be struck at the last minute and beyond!

Ok, let's wait and see (and hope they race in 2004!)

**touringlegend** · 6 Mar 2004, 19:11 (Ref:896173)

I also see Peter Briggs is advertising for a driver for his teams BMW 320i in Autosport this week.

All yours for £198,000...

Andy Metcalf · 6 Mar 2004, 19:33 (Ref:896185)

There is still time for Drivers and Teams to enter.

It's not over 'til the Australian grins.

ATF · 7 Mar 2004, 17:05 (Ref:897213)

Good on Peter, never gives up! I don't know why Edenbridge has so much trouble getting drivers (like the #2 BMW last year which never happened)!

Top Gear · 7 Mar 2004, 17:44 (Ref:897240)

What happend to VLR?

btcc-lad · 7 Mar 2004, 17:59 (Ref:897248)

i think he was going to do scv8 so he sold his btcc cars only to find out scv8 isint hapining till next year and in the auto sport it says
"vic lee racing will run a porsche in this years lemans endurance series. he will run a 911 gt3-rsin the four race seriesas well as the 24-hour enduros at spa and bathurst."
