Hi guys - glad you enjoyed it. Certainly going to miss having the Integra around although a friend has had one done up as a track day machine so maybe I need to try and get a go to at least sample one from behind the wheel!

Great read. Read this last night, spent the next hour or so watching the BTCC Integras on Youtube.

Then went on Forza and made my own BTCC car and downloaded the Halfords BTCC Vinyl and raced till my heart was content haha!

The Integra is a car that is going to be missed in the paddock for sure - although hard to believe when you consider its success that it only won races for two seasons. I guess it shows how strong the car was that that is a fact that is overlooked.

I've made an attempt to try and find out a bit more about where the cars all ended up although haven't managed to get too far with it.

I'm not too sure where each of the cars has ended up - suspect a few have headed to Asia. I do know that the car James Kaye raced in two events is still with Barwell as they used it in Dubai earlier in the year and the two Tech-Speed cars from 09/10 went off to the Dominican Republic.

John George wrote off one car in a crash at Brands Hatch and I believe - although might be wrong - that the car Lea Wood raced last year went as a trade-in for his Vectra. I assume that means its gone back to Eurotech unless someone else sold their Vectra for them.

There was a fellow on Detailingworld username , bromco, I think, that seemed to chat a bit about the Halfords Integras I don't know the extent of his involvement though.

My main work with teams running the Integra came in the later days in the series - like Steve Neal said in the article, shame they couldn't stick a turbo in them last year
