Ha ha if your anything like me you cant wait to get it done, the 205 is starting to get on my tits sitting looking sad in the corner.

Looks good, Carl

Yeah it does get on your tits after a while, it seems to take ages to get anything done! Too many customers cars to get done first!
But it is good to sit back afterwards and look at the finished productSmile

Are you starting on the rear end of you 205 now? Or you had enough and just want to use it?
This is why I have done mine this way round other wise if I started at the front first, I would end up getting it running and just using it, then nothing else would get finished!

Engine wise your is nearly there now isnt it?


I am going to get it back to my garage at home then start on it again next year and do the rear, looks weird as the front is, well newer than new and the rear is just average.

All takes time so i am told, some crap like Rome wasnt built in a day, just want to crack on and get it finished.

As I am full of a cold I cant do much to the car and I got bored so thought I do a bit of research into the history of these cars, so here it is and it seems they were very successful

Silverstone Insurance National Saloon Car Champoinship.

1999 first year entered in the National Saloon car championship by Bowmen Racing and Peugeot Sport UK. Despite 3 wins in the year and 4 pole positions they finished 2nd in the championship with Finnish driver Toni Ruokonen and 4th with British Driver Dan Eaves.

2000 was a great year for the 306 and despite them being banned from using the 6th gear and being given 80kgs of wieght as success ballast, they still won the championship winning 5 races again with Toni Ruokonen, Dan Eaves again finished 4th and a third car run by HTML Motorsport driven by Simon Harrison

In 2001 the National saloon car championship became the BTCC prodution class.





Bristish Touring Car Championship .

In 2000 one car was entered into all the events the new class for BTCC class B which was for production based cars run by Bowmen Racing and Peugeot Sport UK sponsored by the VIP Touring Car Club. This car was driven by British driver Alan Morrison. There was a second car which raced a few times in the year driven by different drivers. At the first race at Silverstone the 2nd car was driven by touring car ace Will Hoy but sadly he did not finish either race. At Donnington the 2nd car was driven by Peugeot Sport UK boss Mick Linfords son Lee Linford. At Brands Hatch Toni Ruokonen was given a go in the BTCC and Dan Eaves had a go at Oulton Park and the second visit to Silverstone. Alan Morrison won the class by 4 points over Hondas James Kaye. Dan Eaves was 5th even though he had only done 2 races, Ruokenon was 10th and Lee Linford bringing up the rear in 13th!

In 2001 the Class B became the Production Class, Bowen Racing became Vic Lee Racing and moved on the the main class with the 406 Coupe BTCC car with Peugeot Sport UK. The Production Class 306 was now run by HTML Motorsport with drivers British Simon Harrison who had previously raced the BTCC 405 in 1995 and Norwegain Roger Moen. There was 3 other private cars run driven by Tom Boardman, Annie Templeton and Spice Girl Melanie Cs brother Paul O Neill.
Simon Harrison won by 7 points again over 2nd place James Kaye in a Honda, Roger Moen finish 3rd, Paul O Neill was 8th, Tom Boardman 11th and Annie Templeton 19th

The 306 was raced in the BTCC right up till 2003 in the production class by various other small teams with varied success.




Asian Touring Car Championship.

In 2000 ATCC moved from Super Touring to Super Production regulations and Bowen/Vic Lee Racing along with Longman Racing and Peugeot Sport UK entered with great success, winning the championship in 2000 Henry Lee Jonior, in 2001 with Charoensukawtana Nattavude and in 2002 with Toni Ruokonen.
