It should have been the first chance to compare the Vauxhall Astra and Peugeot 406 Coupe, but neither turned a wheel.<BR> <BR> Peugeot had one 406 present, while Vauxhall had two Astras, for Jason Plato and Yvan Muller. The Egg-backed Astras for Phil Bennett and James Thompson were also present.<BR> <BR> Six BTCC Production teams also took the trouble to be at the test. The next chance to see the cars will be at Brands Hatch on March 28, for the track-based launch of the series.</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>
