BTCC Hamilton to race a Skoda in the BTCC in 2012

[Brogan]

This is great news.

Another team is joining the BTCC next year and although it's another independent and not a manufacturer team, it's still great for the series.

And yes, you did read the title correctly, it will be driven by Hamilton.

Matt Hamilton that is

Yes, I saw that and I must admit my ears pricked up! I thought that perhaps Nic Hamilton was making a meteoric leap from a novice Clio Cup racer to full-blown BTCC entrant.

Good news though.

I thought that too.

I thought you meant Lewis (in his McLaren) would be racing AGAINST a Skoda.. My money would be on the Skoda because in the general cut and thrust of BTCC the McLarens wheels would be torn off before the first corner...
