The pair also get to drive the Lola-designed MG Prototype at Le Mans. Reid drove for Ford in last year’s BTCC, when he finished runner-up in the title chase.<BR> <BR> MG are also instigating a rally project, for the World and British Rally Championships.<BR> <BR> “The MG brand has a great pedigree of success in motorsport,” said Rob Oldaker, Director of Product Development at the MG Rover Group. Our return to tarmac and gravel forms an integral part of our plans to re-energise the MG name, utilising the dynamic performance credentials of the product range.”<BR> <BR> There seems to be no date set for the introduction of the X20 into the BTCC.<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>
