Tech-Speed will run an S2000 Chevrolet Cruze under the M247 Racing banner for Joe Girling. They were originally scheduled to take part in the last few races of 2012.

No Team HARD at media day tomorrow as their cars are not exactly what you would call…finished.

There’s also supposed to be an announcement about Lea Wood tonight.

Ratboy said 2 months ago:

IP tech (Andy Neate) are debuting at Donnington so will miss the opening round at Brands. they have also applied for 2 cars this season.

So report InsideBTCC.

Lea Wood will compete in his S2000 Vectra in the Jack Sears’ trophey.

Bit dissapointed by that, I’d hoped he’d get the second Speedworks seat.
That seat I assume is still open but little time before the season starts now

With so many cars, i wouldnt be surprised to see drivers struggling to see the lights at Oulton!

#
robk23 said 2 months ago:

28 cars for the season opener (so far) is not bad, with more cars yet to come we could reach the grid limit during the season.

#
Ratboy said 2 months ago:

What was the limit again?

2 from Andy Neate and 1 maybe 2 from Chris Stockton to come after the opening round as well

#
robk23 said 2 months ago:

Article 1.4.1 in the regulations says the maximum grid size is 32.

#
robk23 said 2 months ago:

Speaking of capacity grids, we have one! Other news this morning is that the BTC Racing Chevy and second IP Tech Chevy will enter from Snetterton onwards. British GT racer Michael Caine will also join in the second S2000 Motorbase Focus at Donington Park. All the numbers and official team names have been confirmed.
