Chevrolet’s European division announced earlier this week, that it will enter the 2010 British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) with two manufacturer-backed Cruze sedans. The Silverline Chevrolet team cars will be prepared by the Wellingborough-based RML team, which also looks after Chevy’s World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) Cruzes. Former BTCC champion and 2009 runner-up, Jason Plato, will drive the first car and the second will be driven by 19-year-old Alex MacDowall.
Hopefully some of the race technology tested in the WTCC and now the BTCC will trickle though to a sporty version of the Cruze, which so desperately needs some fire in its belly and a proper athletics kit.
