BTCC » SEAT announces BTCC withdrawal

Racergurl you make my pants tight.

my mate works there and all the comments ref VW interfering are wrong Seat uk have decided this cuz its there decision. I also disagree with all the negative comments on diesel at least Seat are prepared to push the boundries - without pioneers we would still be watching horse racing!!!!!

btcc = dead

btcc dead???? get a life sado!
the btcc will always be one of the worlds best tin top series with or without seat

It is a big loss, but as someone has mentioned, not that surprising given they're really struggling to shift cars at the moment. It's not great for the BTCC, but they're sticking with WTCC - this is probably just streamlining. Doubt it has anything to do with diesel, sour grapes etc etc. It wouldn't make sense - Vauxhall could have problems soon because of their choice of car - the Insignia will not race because it is huuuuuuuge.

Having said that, it is going to be dull if it is just Vauxhall there. Say what you like about SEAT, they brought innovation, colour and competition to the series. Few will want to see Vauxhall walk over the competition like I fear they will now.

"the btcc will always be one of the worlds best tin top series with or without seat"

Not if it reverts to a championship where the only manufacturer backed entries are vauxhalls, it will just be like it was at the start of the decade, boring predictable results. Lets hope this doesn't have too big an effect on the future of the championship.

As for tin tops....looks like the best is the DTM from here on in.

sounds to me like most of u fools won't be watching the btcc next year then after all your moaning!?
there will be another manufacturer out there so that will please all the vxr haters or seat fans as there also called.
the btcc has gone from strength 2 strength over the years and i'm sure alan gow will continue doing a good job.

so turn your back on the btcc if your stupid!

Firstly lets clear a few things up for the small minded not so clever individuals on here...

Is it financial... No

Seat are far from struggling with sales or with anything else for that matter with the launch of new models every 6 months in the very near future and working close with audi, seat will soon be setting new standards.

Is it a problem for btcc? yes and no, its not the end but competetion between the seat team and vauxhall made previous seasons worth watching and quite simply good entertainment.

As for other silly comments(you know who you are stupid people)
think before you speak let alone type... DONUTS!

Plato= Top gear stig only joking

Re - Team Halfords for Plato? I doubt it as Ive heard Halfords are pulling out too

Whats everyone thoughts on the new cartridge world carbon zero racing team? saw them at brands hatch at the weekend and will be interesting to see how they compete next season
