The 2006 Season
PRIAULX: FROM HILL CLIMBING TO AUTOSPORT GREEN COVER
Andy
Priaulx managed to finally get F1 off the cover of Autosport this week, and
with a special occasion green cover too after wrapping up his third Touring
Car Championship on the bounce. Priaulx has now two World Touring Car Championships,
something that even Roberto Ravaglia didn't do!
It now remains to be seen if BMW M Power will make a special edition BMW Priaulx just as they did with the original BMW M3 (E30) for Ravaglia (25 off) in the UK and for Johnny Cecotto (480 off) for the European market. BMW also made 150 Europa Miester versions in celebration of Ravaglias success too. It was of course convenient for BMW in those days to do as such due to evolution homologation runs on which they could hang a name, but even so, let's hope!
Priaulx is again at a race track this weekend, helping out at the Formula BMW World Finals in Valencia.
