Subaru Levorg entered in the BTCC

I for one am glad to see Subaru back in some UK Motorsport.

Interesting that they chose the Levorg, although I do like to see an estate in BTCC

I wonder if now BMR will soon start doing dealer fitted performance packs to the Subaru range, seeing as Prodrive and Pro-R no longer do

Another rear-wheel drive car. Interesting.

I wonder if Plato will be quite as aggressive seeing as he can't just nail the throttle to come out of a slide. I suspect quite a bit of payback in 2016.

I think its too long myself (artist impression makes it look smaller). But as they're going to use the boxer engine that may just destroy the ford's ecoboost engine. As its mountune who are also doing that. Poor people with TOCA swindon lump. They're not getting a new unit till next year.

Drawing makes it look like a 4 door hatch but its really estate car sized.

Hope it makes an impression though.

From what I can work out it's basically the Impreza Wagon. Similar length to the Civic Tourer but with a couple of inches less in the wheelbase than that or the 1-series.

Could have been a title winner too if they'd not withdrawn from Thruxton

If they hadn't withdrawn them they could have burst into flames. Would have been impressive to watch but not given any points
