some slightly interesting BTCC news:

Got back into watching touring cars last year after not bothering with it for some years.  I'll be keeping an eye on these guys since it's a VW related company driving a VW!

Will be interesting to see- especially with only a few core teams with OEM backing behind them. I think they stand a decent chance, be nice to see some 3rd or better from the VW  ;D

Should be good! And if Seat could challenge for wins and titles, why not VW in a couple of years?

it's not a VW works team though, just someone using a VW to drive.

Granted, but the independent Seats also had some very reasonable results last year.
