Can't understand where Gilham is getting the money to do what he's doing, he's confirmed 4 cars so far and there's rumours of 2 more! Mental amounts of money that.

Really looking forward to the field being more NGTC heavy either way.

Only watched the odd race last year to take my mind of Uni work - will try watch every one this year though.

Not really got a clue who's who apart from Plato being a nob

Robin my understanding is that Thorney are building a few more Insignias and running either 1 or 2 themselfs.

Fair play to Tony though it will be good seeing the new Passat and what his team can do with the Insignias.

AMD astra should be cool to

Yeah, Gilham runs several cars in the VW Cup too.

I wondered the same about the money but I believe Gilham is loaded due to business/family, the only reason he was scrabbling around last season for spnosers to get a drive was because he didn't want to put his own money into another team when he was planning on setting up a team himself.
