Well I see there is an F1 thread so I thought I will start one for (imo a better sport) this seasons btcc!
Must admit its looking pretty awesome up to now with ciceley racing moving from a avensis to an a-class Merc and being sponsored by Rob austins old sponsor Wix!
Also 2 past btcc champions rejoining the field, Alan menu (drove for Williams Renault in a laguna) and giovanardi (past won in a vectra c iirc)
Cant wait for the season kick off at brands hatch at the end of march!

Is the merc not just a bodyshell on top of the old car?

Btcc cracks me up, they're mental drivers.
The whole ballast and grid position thing confuses me though.

First Merc in the championship for awhile so my guess is its a fresh chassis.

Its the same subframe I think, literally just reshelled. Still, looks good.
