BTEC Series has been delayed a year.

And instead of informing all the teams and drivers beforehand, they let them know with a Facebook post.

All we need now is for VXR to return with Triple Eight and sign Fabrizio Giovanardi and Yvan Muller and we are good to go!

Full livery to be revealed.

And Team HARD sign someone no-one here has probably heard of to make up the numbers / make sure the bank balance gets a top-up / drive the cursed RCIB Avensis.

So who's gonna win the title then Shedden or Neal?

Even the Proton look more update than the Focus.
I do like the grid, though.

 

[Clark]

WSR looks great with the face lifted 1er.

 

[VXR]

It's a shame the MG has such a poor looking title sponsor, as I like the throwback to the Astra Coupe livery, which was also 888 wasn't it?

 

[Roger the Horse]

Subaru livery looks very smart.

 

[AudiMan2011]

At least Martin now has a less horrid bonnet design.

Liking the Halfords livery and how Dynamics rolled out the old Integra for the occasion.

The BMR Subaru will be the most intriguing to watch to see if they can get the boxer/RWD estate combination to work. What are the bets on the team advantage swinging back towards Turkington?

I went down to the media day on Tuesday, first time seeing the BTCC in the flesh but they are pretty cool cars. A few photos from my day can be found on my flickr page. Particularly proud of this one (which the team tweeted too):

​

Disappointed the Subarus didn't run at all but kind of expected it with being such a new programme still.

Since nobody else has mentioned it, well done to Tingram for grabbing pole and making a little bit of BTCC history today. Could very well be a breakthrough season for him.

Cook and Sutton also impressed me, as did the pace of the Levorgs considering they're fresh out of the box.

Is there any way to watch BTCC on the Internet?

Who decided that the new Dunlop bumper voice-over should be from the mid-90s?
