Was about to post that myself. Mick from on Renault Sports Club has purchased one and is setting about restoring it![]()
So why did the BTCC dumb down so much? Economics? Lack of interest from OEMs?
Seems like a shame considering the popularity of DTM.

I always thought they should still run manual gear boxes so they are close to the road cars they are supposed to be.

It won a single title, after winning 3 races, on it's 7th year in the series.
I don't think we can blame the Mondeo for the rule changes, successful it was not.
