Bizarre Turkington interview

Nevermind the dodgy pose. Apparently Colin Turkington is the new Lewis Hamilton, according to the Electric New Paper, Singapore. And what a naughty boy he turns out to be:

My girlfriend in Ireland is just as hot as [Hamilton's girlfriend] is, but in Macau, I'm single and available.'

Shocking.

SEAT 2009

Presumably if...

the [SEAT Cupra 2008 champion] will have an opportunity to get behind the wheel of a third factory-backed BTCC Leon for one weekend

...the SEAT are in until at least 2009?

Ford

Autocar quoth:

Rumours also abound that the Blue Oval is also about to re-enter the British Touring Car Championship. Perhaps a bet on them for BTCC winners in 2009 wouldn’t be such a long shot after all.

Probably just got it from forum banter, but you never know.

Priaulx for BBC Sports Personality Of The Year

That's what a grand total of 8 fans believe, according to this Facebook group. C'mon people...!

Everything Must Go!

• Is Martyn Bell looking to replace his 320i?
  
• Why's Tom Boardman selling his Leon Supercopa?
  
• Did any engine from the BTC Lexus even complete 60 laps without blowing up?
  
• Too old to wheel out the Alfa 147 rumours again?
  
• Given that Encke Sport still haven't managed to flog their Astras, will they ever make it to the BTCC?
  
• Given that Chevys are for sale, what excuse do Clyde Valley Racing have now?
  
• Why not try a S2000 car new to the BTCC - shiny Merc, slow Peugeot or an unproven Focus?
  
• And why would anyone ever livery an Alfa 156 like this??
  

BTCC Silly Season 2008

Best list I've seen yet saying who's where and in what.
