Next year, a phrase frequently linked to motorsport, should prove fruitful for the future of the ETCC if the likes of Renault, Seat, KIA, Honda and Opel should join in the fun with Volvo, Alfa Romeo and BMW. The only real problem would be finding a circuit large enough to take the grid. <BR> </FONT></TD></TR> </TABLE><BR> </CENTER> <BR><CENTER><font size="1" color="#808080" face="Tahoma">Copyright ©2000-©2023 TotalMotorSport</font></CENTER> </td> </tr> </table> </body>
