It's been a frantic evening.
At about half-past five Sam Tordoff retweeted a message about Infiniti having something to reveal tomorrow to help boost their brand in the United Kingdom. Four hours and a heck of a lot of 'internetting' later I can provisionally reveal what I think (and only think!) the Japanese manufacturer will reveal tomorrow. TeamPara (named after the Paratroopers) seemingly plan on running two NGTC Q50 models for former Dutch Supercar Challenge and HSCC SuperTCC racer Derek Palmer and Richard Hawken (who raced David Leslie's 1997 Nissan Primera Supertourer also in the SuperTCC) Nothing is confirmed it is of course important to remember and with 31/32 TBLs already taken it remains to be seen who's licenses will be taken by the new team. The car appears to be built and with the announcement pending it looks like one of the class of 2014 will be relinquishing their license. The photo's seemingly show a standard Q50 road car being transformed into a fully fledged racing car complete with 'HiQ' light stickers and 'Dunlop' number plates along with a standard style NGTC bodykit and Dunlop branded tyres indicating clearly which championship the team plan on entering. The announcement is expected tomorrow morning and we can hope to have a clearer picture of what the teams plans are for 2015. What is for sure is that it looks like the BTCC could have a new works backed team amongst its ranks for media day in March Source: http://imgur.com/a/wHOY0#Yf8wzCT http://imgur.com/a/GP880 *I reserve the right to pull this article if my info turns out to be way of the mark!
