Citroen seen testing new BTCC cars!
During an open testing session at Silverstone circuit on friday the 13th March, Citroen were seen testing what looked like contenders for the 2009 British Touring Car Championship. Citroen, who have never before entered the BTCC look like they could be set to replace SEAT with a couple of unlikely drivers.
The cars spotted were carrying the livery of what could be a works team and also a independents livery. The biggest shock however was the drivers themselves, none other than Fabrizio Giovanardi (#1) and Erkut Kizilirmak (#90). The pair were snapped during a cold and wet day, rounding Becketts in to the Club Straight…
Giovanardi (#1) leads Erkut Kizilirmak (#90)
Other speculation is that what we see here is not a works team but a whole new BTCC spec for 2009. Forget S2000, forget BTCC spec, this is Dolly Spec.
Thats right people, racing spec Citroen 2 CV ‘Dollies’. As we rapidly approach the start of the 2009 BTCC season it looks the recession hit teams maybe looking to make some cost saving moves to secure their place on the grid.
