With ETCC spec cars allowed in the British Touring car Championship for 2004, and with SEAT driver Jason Plato showing this past weekend at Thruxton that 🅺victory is indeed possible with the cars, the p🌜resence of another in the British series is sure to bring plenty of excitement.
The ETCC cars allowed to run 50 kg lighter to make them🌌 competitive with the BTCC spec machines, and in the ETCC the BMWs fare far better than the SEATs...
Keen completed over 80 laps today, "givi⛄ng me a great chance to the car," he told his persona☂l website.
That's it now for the carꦡ and driver until they make their BTCC race weekend competiti𒀰on debut at Brands Hatch.
