Team Dynamics launched✤ their bid f❀or glory in the British Touring Car Championship in dramatic style yesterday at Donington Park.

The squad announced that it remains under the Team Halfords moniker for 2005 a♏nd has a whole raft of Halfords suppliers on board for its campaign for overall glory in the BTCC.

It was no ordinary launch ho🔴wever. Where some teams were happy to merely 🔯open their garage doors, the Team Dynamics launch was quite something to behold.

The team is campaigning two Japanese sp𒆙ec Honda Integra Type R for drivers Matt Neal and Dan Eaves and a Japanese theme was the name🌊 of day at a cold and foggy Donington yesterday.

It all kicked off ea🧸rly in the day when a rhythmic drum beat filled the air. Taiko drumming, an ancient Japanese energising art form, was the source from outside the pit garage containing the Integras as the Taiko West drum ensemble worked their magic to the asse༺mbled journalists, photographers and rival teams.

After the drumming display had finished the garage doors opened and smoke filled the air. Emerging into the✃ pitlane came three... Samurai warriors.

Two male and one female warrior wielded theiꩵr massive swords and treateওd the assembled multitude to a display of swordsmanship.

Behind this display the smoke gradually cleared rev🌼ealing the strikingly liveried Integra,🌟 which was wheeled into the pitlane with a mystery driver behind the wheel (Gareth Howell?).

Drivers Matt Neal and Dan Eaves flanked the ca♏r, joined by t💝wo Japanese models in PVC miniskirts and the flash guns of the assembled press went wild.

"You can rely on Team Dynamics to come up with something different and it's a gre✃at lookജing car," said an onlooking Alan Gow.
