Will Powell taking the last seat at Your One Motorsport... I think that’s the grid complete then.
( ... or is it).
Old school, quite a few in new teams v Newbies & Rookies.
It could produce some interesting results.

Can I just ask what might be a silly question. Why would a team (for example Team Hard) purchase x amount of SEAT Cupras and engineer them as best they can, rather than buying last year's BMW 330's or Civic Type R's (proven race winning cars) and run them instead?
Because they’re doing it a cheaply as they possibly can. That is their MO.Nononsensecapeesh said:
I must admit I do feel quite underwhelmed looking at this year's BTCC grid. At worst, it feels like 2001 or 2005 all over again but I know this year is nothing like as bad as those years, there were probably worse times in the mid-1980s as well.
yeah but the cars were way cooler - BMW 635, Rover Vitesse, Ford Merkur, Toyota Supra, Volvo 240 turbo. They beat the ste out of a Hybrid Seat Leon.Nononsensecapeesh said:

The 2 Litre era has gone on long enough in that respect then.Dynion Araf Uchaf said:

Did a Volvo 240 turbo ever race in UK ? I thought it was ETCC only .
Other interesting cars of that era , Starion and Maserati Biturbo [flop] ,also class C Toyota AE86s vs Escort RS1600is , Alfa Romeo GTV6s .
