    Well, that sucks. I'm guessing they didn't want to put in the money to develop a race car version of the Insignia, to replace the Vectra.
    I don't mean to sound cold, or cruel, or vicious, but I am so that's the way it comes out.

    Yeah why not, anyone got a blank cheque handy?

    That's a shame though. It's definitely not what it was and I can't imagine it really picking up again for a while unless they can bring the costs right down.

    They pulled out last year, not sure why, money I suppose. Nothing at all to do with not winning the title even with the Diesel rules......

    Re: Vauxhall are out of BTCC in 2010

    Arn't Vauxhall the only factory team left, if they leave and no other factory teams join it will all be independants.

    I remember when there was two starts to the race, one for the independants and one for the factory teams.

    Re: Vauxhall are out of BTCC in 2010

    Opel/Vauxhall may be lucky to still exist this time next year.

    Nothing wrong with an all independent championship though, especially when there are different preparation/tuning companies involved.
