I know several of us here have gotten seriously hooked on the BTCC in recent years, may only complaint for the '05 season was lack of entries. In many races, there were as few as 12 cars making starts. Well, that is all changing for 2006.
New teams:
In-Front Motorsports- Alfa Romeo 156/ 2 cars
Eurotech Motorsports- Honda Integras/ 2 cars
Motorbase Performance- Honda Integras/ 2 cars
Geoff Steel Racing- AC Shnitzer BMW E46
/ 1 car
Here's a small piece of one of the articles cited

It becomes the fourth new team in recent weeks to announce plans to progress into Britain’s most famous and popular motor racing championship: the Eurotech and Motorbase Performance outfits will each enter with Honda Integras, while Geoff Steel Racing has acquired one of the Schnitzer BMW E46s that won last year’s World Touring Car Championship title

There are several past champions returning to the series as well, so it should be a stellar season. The first race is April 9, but we will likely not see them on SPeed Channel until late fall of 06.
