BTCC Dream Teams: The Sensation of Silly Season
Although silly season is drawing to a close, there is still a month of rumour, conjecture and speculation regarding the construction of the BTCC field for 2015. As such I decided to take what may be my final plunge into the silly season swimming pool. Across the close season on the various tin top communities, a common conversation topic is who people would like to see in teams. Therefore, what better way to end the silly season than to present my ideas for some BTCC dream teams!

2015 Volvo V40 Luxury Car Review
Small car. Torquey diesel. Scintillating performance. I get personal with the 2015 Volvo V40 diesel.
Car Review: 2015 Volvo V40 T5 R-Design
Volvo month continues for me and we’ve moved into the V40 T5 R-Design.
Powersource.
Volvo has stayed with forced induction for the T-5, it’s also downsized to a four cylinder of two litres capacity. Peak power, a not inconsiderable 180 kW, is seen at 5500 revs whilst torque, all 350 Nm of it, 
is mesa flat from 1500 through to 4800 revs. Again, it’s the eight speed auto that’s fitted, in keeping with Volvo’s commitment to increasing economy and decreasing emissions. It’s quiet, refined and claims 6.1L of gogo juice consumed per 100 klicks on a combined cycle.
BTCC Memorable Drives: The Amazing Charlie Cox

Charlie Cox is often remembered as the voice of the latter part of the Super Touring era of the BTCC. Starring alongside Murray Walker in 1997 and John Watson between 1998 and 2001, Cox had a magnificent blend of excitement, drama and inimitable wit behind the microphone. However, it was not just behind the microphone that Cox made a name for himself. It was behind the wheel of his independent Mondeo in 1995 that Cox etched his entry into the evocative history of the BTCC.
