Fair amount of accuracy in the blurb. I also noticed at the Montreal race that long standing Venturi driver Stephane Sarrazin was driving for a rival team!

all the drivers regularly seem to swap teams over the past 3 years. All run from central location anyway so not much difference. Venturi has been involved since the start.
never thought I would want a list but now find myself needing one just to remind me: Clio V6 230, 5 gt turbo, 5 Gordini turbo, Megane RS 300 Trophy.

Yes, they almost won the very first race with Heidfeld but for a last corner coming together and crashing out with Nico Prost, since then mostly mid to back of the pack! :(
