SEAT Sport UK debuted in the BTCC at Thruxton in 2004. They had run a season of the SEAT Cupra championship in 2003 (won by Rob Huff) but that wasn't on the TOCA tour.

This was writtin by Alan Gow on the BTCC forum. It was actually TDiLeonMike than asked the question....
Different entrant team. Possibly Tempus Sport? I wonder if they would be willing to come back to the BTCC?
Would be good if GR Asia did it, but Paul Ridgeway is/was commited to Maxtreme, (but not even sure Maxtreme will re-emerge, as one car got totalled, and another is for sale, with a 20v engine on Touringcarspares.com)
I do know however that some of the GR Asia techs that ran Adam's car at Team Air Cool, went to CVR with him, so there is still a connection.
HOWEVER, THIS IS NOT THE START OF A RUMOUR, JUST WISHFULL THINKING

Tempus are actually Bamboo - lock-stock. Only thing that's changed really is the business ownership and name. Staff are all still there etc.
yep i saw that to mike ,whilst waiting to get out,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,wot a joke that was
It was deffo the CVR owned one (And not a "Fans" car), registration was correct, I just looked at my photo, and the ever so regularly updated and informative CVR website.

I've shown the Reg No, as this is a public display car, and is widely "accessable" on the web

Very happy that it isn't the end and that Colin seems dedicated to getting out in 2010. Because I am sure the BTCC has a history of teams who have been forced out and failed to make the grid for the following season.
Jason, I've been 100% behind CVR since day 1. And I've tried to stay positive.
But...................this time round, I'll believe it when I see it. Sponsorship is hard to come by, bigger teams have failed in less trying times.
I really want them to return in 2010, but I think they will struggle
My sentiments exactly. Even I, with my total lack of any slight knowledge or experience on the issue, know through seeing it happen in the BTCC that companies don't want to commit money to something that in this current climate where money from their banks, for whatever reason seems hard to come by, is needless and uncessary. That is why VXR, and they are a factory team, will leave. General Motors, like many many many companies, I think, have the same issue obtaining money.
And if a big factory team in a prestigious chanpionship and one with a long history have to leave because the parent company of the manufacturer cannot get hold of money so easily what is the chances of a team like CVR?
That is why I suggest, as I think it is a good idea, to abandon ship before it sinks and look to other teams you feel your want to devote your time and support to.
Because for all I think theirs a percentage of touring car fans (mainly on other messageboards) who have spent such a long time in the BTCC and circulating in areas of the paddock newer fans wouldn't dare go, they know so much about the teams, drivers and cars of the past and present that any contribution newer and less experienced and knowledgable fans make would overwhelm it and make it appear small and not worth saying, what binds older and more knowledgable fans to the newer and less knowledgable touring car fans is the passion for the series.
I already have begun contingency plans in the event CVR don't make it. I began my interest in the BTCC back in 2001 till 2005 following WSR so why not go back to supporting them?
