Has Gio left BTCC?
- Thread starter t0m
- Start date
Would be a shame for me.. Ok he's a bit of a Schumacher in terms of winning all the time but he is driving talent.
Maybe he'll turn up in a Leon TDI
after the performance in the first three rounds it would be a real shame if he didn't continue with the rest of the season!
be great if he took the other Seat

Would appear so, Gio is a paid driver, he wants money to drive for 888 so I doubt he will give his services for free. No deal is in place to cover his services so I guess that means no Gio.

that's a shame - guess he shouldn't be so greedy trying to get paid though
What ive just learnt is James Nash was born in the very small town im living in at the moment![[B)]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/shades.gif "Cool [B)]")
born drivers from your town then

Errr no because i wasnt Born in Newport Pagnell, i just live here for 7 days then go home to Nantwich then come back lol
The first meeting was a fully-funded free drive for him. But clearly he wasn't able to raise the funds to do the rest of the season, despite his performance and Nash can afford the £200-300k for the season. I'm told Gio was willing to race for nothing and only get his travel expenses. The sooner the BTCC gets more cost effective cars to run (NGTC), the better.
Not great that it does indeed Gio is out of the BTCC for 2010. But he definitely reminded us at Thruxton he is a brilliant driver.
I'm hoping Shaun @ AMD see's some improvements in the Golf after some revisions...

Now Glew has been left high and dry as the sponsor has pulled out on 888.

Maybe I am being stoopid but the statement from the sponsors sounded a bit strange to me.
“We severely underestimated the impact that our brand exposure would have on the demand for certain products and services in the UK market, so to maintain sponsorship with Triple 8 would actually present us with a series of business problems,”
(taken from the article)
From that I read it meant that their name got out and they got more business and exposure (which is the whole point of advertising and sponsorship no?) but they are now cutting back as they are getting too much work??? Like I said am I being stoopid?
