23 cars entered for BTCC 2010

By

The official entry list for the British Touring Car Championship 2010 has been revealed.
“This is a fantastic start to our new season and a new decade for the BTCC,” commented BTCC Series Director Alan Gow to BTCC.net.

The list features 23 entries compared to last season with 28 cars, a decrease of five entries. But it should be noted that the entry list released ahead of the 2009 season featured 21 cars that later during the season increased to 28 cars.

“Globally, motor sport has really felt the pinch of late following what has been a very cruel recession, yet the BTCC continues to buck that trend and set an example for many other high-profile series around the world, as shown by our 2010 entry list.”

The list features seven different manufacturers: BMW, Chevrolet, Ford, Honda, SEAT, Vauxhall and Volkswagen.
