Vauxhall-drivers urging to go WTCC
The two British Touring Car Chanmpionship Vauxhall-drivers Fabrizio Giovanardi and Matt Neal would like to see the Vectra taking part in the FIA World Touring Car Championship.
"We're winning in not the perfect scenario with tight and twisty tracks (in Britain). The car suits the long, fast stuff which they run on over there (in WTCC) so I think it would be really, really competitive," said Neal.
Vauxhall took a clean sweep of the BTCC 2008 titles, drivers, team and manufacturers.
"I think it says something for Triple 8 and Vauxhall that they won with one set of regulations in Britain, and now they're winning with the Super 2000 as well," Neal to Autosport.
Giovanardi, who raced in the WTCC before going to BTCC, has been keen for a long time to introduce the Vectra internationally.
"Fabrizio keeps on beating the drum 'why can't we go and race in the world championship with this?' because the Vectra would be awesome in it, it's perfectly suited," said Neal.
