Are the BTCC cars actually available for NASCAR '03, or are you just using the NASCAR models with different stats?

I'm just using the default NASCAR models, with the front and rear ends pasted over with that of the car models they represent. Not sure how well that will turn out.

Well this took me the best part of three hours, (thank you VX Racing for having such a complicated livery). But here is our first taste of BTCC 2004 with Vauxhall's new challenger below. I'm quite happy with how this one turned out, I know the shape is not the same, (and that will be extremely obvious once I get to the hatchbacks) but we can pretend.

I'll do a team by team preview which shows off the livery of each team and my thoughts on their chances. I'll upload these as and when I complete each livery. If all of the team's cars have identical liveries then I'll just post the one image but otherwise I'll show off all the cars.

Triple 8 Race Engineering aka VX Racing

Drivers
#5 Fabrizio Giovanardi (White front splitter) BD (14/12/66) (37)
#6 Warren Hughes (Black front splitter) BD (19/01/69) (35)
#88 Robert Huff (Red front splitter) BD (25/12/79) (24)

As the dominant team over the past three seasons, few would bet against Vauxhall winning a fourth consecutive title. However they will arguably be at their most vulnerable yet with an entirely new lineup. Reigning champion Yvan Muller found his services re-payed by being dumped by the team over the off season and thus has joined Alfa Romeo in the ETCC (look out for a few wild card appearances from the Frenchman). Meanwhile James Thompson, 2002 champion and 2003 runner up has defected to Honda while rising star Paul O'Neill has unfortunately been sidelined by diabetes for the foreseeable future.

In their place comes Fabrizio Giovanardi who comes from the ETCC as a five time touring car champion but has never raced in the BTCC. He should be a fine leader for the team in time but expect a slow start to this season as he gets to grips with the unfamiliar tracks. Joining him having been pouched from the formally MG backed West Surrey Racing is Warren Hughes, so far a three time race winner in the BTCC but it remains to be seen whether he has the consistency for a championship challenge. Finally there is promising rookie Robert Huff, moving up after winning the 2003 SEAT Cupra Cup. Can we see a win from him before the end of the season?

With the Astra Coupe they have an aging but thus far undefeated package, the rumour is that this will be the final season for the Coupe with the team looking at a switch to the newer Astra Sports Hatch model. Will the Coupe remain unbeaten, or will its age (and inexperienced drivers) finally get the better of it and allow someone else to sneak in front?

False, he is a total boss. But to be honest the main reason I like him is very similar to the reason I really think Adrian Quaife-Hobbs is almost HWNSNBM

Ray Mallock Lt aka SEAT Sport UK

Drivers
#17 Matt Neal (Yellow windshield strip) BD (20/12/66) (37)
#18 Colin Turkington (Red windshield strip) BD (21/03/82) (21)
#19 Tom Chilton (Silver windshield strip) BD (15/03/85) (18)

With Honda scaling down their funding, MG withdrawing their works support for WSR and Proton being, well Proton, newcomers SEAT could well be Vauxhall's biggest threat for the 2004 title. They have a lineup which is potentially as good as Vauxhall's, Matt Neal is the ideal driver to lead a new team as the most experienced driver on the grid looking for his first overall drivers title, while he is joined by two young guns, both entering their third season in the BTCC. Colin Turkington joins from the formally MG backed West Surrey Racing and will hope to add to his debut win at Brands Hatch last season while Tom Chilton, like Neal joins from Honda. The youngest driver on the grid brings in plenty of funding and certainly does have raw pace if nothing else. Can SEAT provide the tools for his first victory?

Arena Motorsport aka Team Honda

Drivers
#7 James Thompson (White Splitter) BD (26/04/74) (29)
#8 Satoshi Motoyama (Red Splitter) BD (04/03/71) (32)

Vauxhall's biggest challenger from last season has sadly had to scale down its operation after Honda lowered the funding for Arena Motorsport. All three of the 2003 drivers have been dropped and the team is down to just two cars for this season. On the other hand they have managed to poach 2002 champion James Thompson from Vauxhall and if anyone can still make the little Civics into winners then it will be him. Joining him in the second car is the extremely left field choice of Formula Nippon star, Satoshi Motoyama, who will become the first Japanese driver to take part in the BTCC. Motoyama comes without any tin top experience and his knowledge of the tracks is limited so expect him to struggle during the opening rounds.

It was the JC 600 that clashed with DTM right, if so the first two endurance races will have Bernd Schneider and Gary Paffet racing for the main Vauxhall team. In the JC600 at least two of the co drivers will be Australian

Mercedes aren't keen on their flagship driver and their rising star representing Vauxhall aka Opel, therefore they will block that move. Skaife would be okay for the JC 600 since he would still be driving a GM car.

Damn, completely forgot that Vauxhall was part of GM. In that case Marcel Fassler, Peter Dumbreck and Timo Scheider will take the drives. For the international driver race Skaife and Jason Bright will drive. The other seat is still TBA

Team Petronas Syntium Proton

Drivers
#20 Gavin Pyper (Turquoise windshield strip) BD (12/08/79) (24)
#81 Gareth Howell (White windshield strip) BD (06/01/81) (23)
#99 James Kaye (Silver windshield strip) BD (18/02/64) (40)

Proton return for a third season of mediocrity and this time they have expanded to a three car team. They also have an all new lineup with David Leslie and Phil Bennett replaced by youngsters, Gavin Pyper and Gareth Howell (both only got partial seasons in 2003) who are joined by veteran journeyman James Kaye. Proton are still yet to win in the BTCC and never even made the podium last season. They hope that their renewed lineup will improve their performances but since they are still using the same models that they debuted with back in 2002 then it will frankly be a miracle if they find themselves on the top step of the podium.

Howell and Pyper both have potential but that is unlikely to be realized with Proton, frankly both deserve better. Kaye on the other hand, moving from Synchro Motorsports has rarely been better than average over his long career, even with better teams than Proton, but his experience can only help Proton's close to hopeless cause. Maybe he can finally take his first podium? With Proton don't hold your breath.

West Surrey Racing

Drivers
#2 Antony Reid BD (17/05/59) (44)
#3 Dan Eaves BD (03/06/75) (28)

This will be WSR's first season alone without works support as MG pulled their funding after the end of last season. Turkington and Hughes may have jumped ship to SEAT and Vauxhall respectively but the team have managed to retain their lead driver, Anthony Reid, one of just three drives who will drive for the same team they ended 2003 with. Without works backing though fighting for the Scot's first title will be a struggle. Reid will be joined by Dan Eaves who brings Halfords sponsorship with him from the now defunct Vic Lee Racing. Eaves is expected to be the defacto number two but WSR should give him his best shot at his first victory.

Team Dynamics

Drivers
#54 Darren Turner (White splitter) BD (13/04/74) (29)
#55 Jason Plato (Red splitter) BD (14/10/67) (36)
#57 Luke Hines (Black splitter) BD (04/05/82) (21)

Team Dynamics enter their first full time campaign since 2000 after returning for the second half of 2003 with the Proton bound Gareth Howell. 2004 however will see a large expansion to a three car team lead by the returning 2001 champion Jason Plato. Dynamics have already proven in the past that they are capable of beating the works teams and now that they have virtually identical cars to the main Honda team they could be regular front runners right out of the gate. In fact with Motoyama expected to struggle in the 2nd works Honda, Dynamics stand a great chance of beating them in the teams championship.

Joining Plato is series rookie, Darren Turner who brings DTM and ASCAR experience and should be Rob Huff's main rival for Rookie of the Year honours. Dynamics added a third car to its lineup at the last minute thanks to Luke Hines waving daddy's cash at Steve Neal. Though Hines is very much there for his money, he did manage to win an admittedly thinly contested Production Cup last season. Wins aren't expected but Hines could surprise from time to time.

Having looked through the 2004 DTM Results again, I've only just realised Laurent Aïello skipped the Shanghai round tha clashes with the Cadwell 1000. Therefore, he will drive both at Spa and Cadwell alongside Alain Menu, and Larini will be Gavin Smith's co-driver at both races instead. This mean Uwe Alzen will only race at the JP 600, and Larini will be Menu's team-mate as planned.

I think we can ignore that Shanghai round since its non-championship and on a vastly inferior track.

Synchro Motorsports

Drivers
#48 Alexander Wurz BD (15/02/74) (30)
#49 David Leslie BD (09/11/53) (50)

It's all change at Synchro Motorsports who not only have expanded to two entries but have ditched their Honda Civic Type R for a pair of Accords brought over from the ETCC. The driving lineup has also changed with James Kaye leaving for Proton and replaced by fellow veteran David Leslie. Though the Scot is heading towards the twilight of his career, he is in all honesty a much better driver than Kaye and stands a good chance of earning Synchro their first podiums.

Lining up alongside Leslie will be one of the 2004 season's most interesting newcomers, McLaren F1 test driver, Alexander Wurz who will race in touring cars for the first time since 1996 when he raced in the DTM. Happily he was able to gain approval from Ron Dennis to race in his BTCC debut season, his F1 testing duties to be arranged around the BTCC calender with Pedro de la Rosa available to fill in when necessary. The Austrian is expected to struggle at the start of the season as he gets back to grips with racing tin tops but once he's at his best he should be a contender for top tens.

Tech-Speed Motorsport

Drivers
#77 Alain Menu (GM) BD (09/08/63) (40)
#78 Gavin Smith (Thurlby Motors) BD (15/09/77) (26)
#79 John George (JAG) BD (22/03/61) (42)

Making a return to the BTCC is Tech-Speed Motorsports who have ambitiously entered a trio of Astras (two 03 specs, one 01 spec), mostly funded by pay drivers. However they have managed to snap up double BTCC champion Alain Menu, the Swiss driver in between leaving the DTM and joining Chevrolet's new bid in what will become the World Touring Car Championship for 2005. General Motors have allowed him to return to the BTCC for this season and are even paying his salary for Tech-Speed. As for Menu's chances, he will be running one of last season's dominating Vauxhall Astras so he should easily be a race winning contender during the opening rounds of the season. On the other hand Tech-Speed may struggle in the development race and this will likely hamper Menu's title chances.

Piloting the other two cars and effectively funding the team are pay drivers Gavin Smith and John George. Irishman Gavin Smith comes with funding from Thurlby Motors though he admitted has some talent. In 2003 he finished 4th in the UK SEAT Cupra Cup with a single race win and should be a contender for a few top tens this season. John George on the other hand is very much of the 'gentleman driver' ilk, funding his way with money from his own mobile phone retailer, JAG Communications. George raced in the UK Renault Clio Cup last season but without the results to truly show that he deserves his place in the BTCC. He will likely spend the season towards the back.

GA Motorsport

Drivers
#21 Charlie Butler-Henderson BD (23/11/78) (25)
#25 Carl Breeze BD (07/07/79) (24)

GA Motorsports are back for their second season in the Touring Class, this time having ditched one of their Astras for an ETCC Alfa 156 making them the only team running entirely different models alongside each other. Carl Breeze remains with the team having joined the team midway through 2003 and it will be him that pilot's the team's 156. Breeze has shown promise in the past but is yet to receive a car that will truly let his talent shine through. In the team's remaining Astra will be 2003 Clio Cup midfielder, Charlie Butler-Henderson. He may have some speed but don't expect many big results. Overall GA will likely remain firmly rooted to the midfield for the 2004 season.

Samster · Post by **Samster** » 28 Dec 2012, 02:22

Collard Racing

Drivers
#93 Robert Collard BD (01/10/68) (35)

Rob Collard's team enters their second season in the Touring class and their really isn't much to say other than they have replaced their Astra with a BMW 320i, another S2000 car from the ETCC. Whether the BMW will be more competitive than the Astra will not be known until the season begins and Collard's performance will depend on that. The aims for 2004 will be to retain the independents title won last season and maybe score Collard's first podium.

Edenbridge Racing

Drivers
#23 Mike Jordan (17/02/58) (46)
#64 David Pinkney (05/07/52) (51)

Edenbridge move up from the defunct Production class with a pair of ex WSR MGs funded almost entirely by their driver's personal sponsors. In Mike Jordan and David Pinkney, they have the oldest lineup on the grid, both drivers returning to the series after multiple seasons away, Pinkney last appeared in 2001 while Jordan's most recent was way back in 1989. Despite this Jordan is the more likely to take the team's best results with the better record in other categories while Pinkney is another of the 'gentleman drivers', though he is one of the more competent ones. The MGs at Edenbridge's disposal should be good for the midfield but unlikely any better.

Kartworld Racing

Drivers
#97 Andy Neate BD (19/08/74) (29)

Kartworld Racing are another team moving from the Production Class and like Edenbridge they will run an ex WSR MG. Team owner and 2003 driver Jason Hughes has stepped out of the driving seat to allow rookie paydriver, Andy Neate and his Ceravision money in. Neate did run the opening meeting of the 2001 season in the Production class but failed to finish both races so there isn't alot to go on with how he'll perform. More recently he has ran in the British GT with average results. I'd expect fellow 02 spec MG team, Edenbridge to have the edge with better funding and more experienced driver lineup and for Kartworld to spend the season near the back.

Grovey · Post by **Grovey** » 30 Dec 2012, 01:29

Jason Hughes will slot himself into the endurance drive at Kartworld. BTW the car looks good.

TH-Larkham Motorsport

Drivers
#10 Mark Larkham (Karcher) BD (29/12/63) (40)
#73 Nick Leason (Aspect) BD (23/08/68) (35)

Perhaps the most intriguing of the lower end teams are the TH-Larkham Motorsports team, the name a result of TH Motorsports forming an alliance with Aussie V8 Supercar team Larkham Motorsport. Owner/driver, Mark Larkham has decided to move over from Australia to try his hand in the BTCC as he closes in on his retirement from racing, having already left full time V8 racing. He has managed to purchase a pair of Ford Focus STs from the ETCC to be driven by himself and pay driver, Nick Leason. The Focus is unlikely to be competitive given their less than stellar record in the ETCC in previous years and it doesn't help that even TH Motorsports themselves lack the BTCC experience having only ran a couple of rounds in the production class back in 2001. Larkham should be capable of dragging out a few decent results out of his Focus once he gets used to the BTCC but Leason will struggle to reach any higher than the back row of the grid, having only competed in club racing prior to this season with limited success.

John Batchelor Racing

Driver
#00 Richard Marsh BD (24/09/67) (36)

And we finally reach our final full time team, John Batchelor Racing, perhaps the Andrea Moda of the BTCC? This looks like easily the entry with the least potential. JBR who struggled even in the Production class move up to the Touring class with one of Vic Lee's old Peugeot 406 Coupes, one of the oldest cars on this year's grid, a team so cash strapped that they won't attend any of the endurance races. Well what more would you expect from someone who one legally named himself 'John B&Q'? Somehow they do seem to at least have a legit sponsor in Varta while Richard Marsh returns from Batchelor's production class army from last season to make his touring class debut bringing in his own personal monies. Not much else to say other than everyone expects them to battle Nick Leason for the wooden spoon.

I'll run a pre-season test tomorrow at Oulton Park of which I'll post up the results. Then I'll make the ETCC wildcard liveries that have entered the Cardiff 500 then we finally be ready to get underway.

I'm considering allowing this if teams have enough money to do so but I may have to set an entry cap if we end up with many more full timers than with have now.

Fairly happy with where we are at the moment, though I had hoped Howell would be higher.

On a totally unrelated note, J-C Boullion is down as Thompson's international codriver on the wiki. Surely he is ineligible, given his 1999 season with Renault?

About where I'd expect the Dynamics cars to be, not quite on the work's cars pace. Should be a good battle with WSR for independent honors! Quite pleased with Turner and Hines' pace, hopefully we can sneak a couple of podiums and maybe even a win during the season if the stars align!

Cue a Plato whinge attack, on the works advantage, weather and of course, Matt Neal...!
