There are also a few semi-factory entries and privateers :

The Peugeot 407

The Honda Accord Euro R

The E46 WTCC is still running around

 

[Zoggee]

how come the torque of E90 is lower then mine....maximum torque: 242 nm @ 7250 rpm; engine management.

The 156 is higher....!!maximum torque - 260 nm @ 7000 rpm, engine management.

but I love all racing cars...

 

[E46Fanatic]

You'd be surprised that the 760hp 2.4 ltr V8 BMW engine used this F1 season has as much or less torque as a stock E46 M3.

At the end, its about how drivable the car is and how quick it is around the track.

Good to see the BMWs in the no 1 spot.

Menu claims first victory for Chevrolet

Alain Menu was welcomed back to the pits as a hero by the Chevrolet garage at the end of Race 2 as he achieved the team's first race victory on an extremely wet Brands Hatch circuit. Rickard Rydell finished 2nd with fellow SEAT driver James Thompson obtaining his second 3rd place result of the day.

Andy Priaulx had a good start from pole but his dreams of a race win were dashed on lap 6. A safety car was issued for 3 laps while the car of Rob Huff was recovered from the gravel trap at Druids, but on the restart Priaulx made a mistake and ran wide into the gravel at Paddock Hill.

The Briton managed to keep control of his BMW 320si and rejoined 11th. He eventually crossed the line 8th, salvaging a single championship point but had to defend hard to keep Alex Zanardi at bay. Dirk Müller of BMW Team Germany and new championship leader Yvan Muller were fighting for 5th but the Yvan squeezed through on lap 9.

The next lap saw two spins. The first to suffer was BMW Team Italy-Spain man, Marcel Costa, who was lying 7th lost control of his car at the soaked Surtees corner. Moments later Pierre-Yves Corthals' fight was over when he went off at Druids and re-joined at the back. Corthals team-mate, Ryan Sharp had a better result as he won the independents race, 13th overall, ahead of Tom Coronel.

Gianni Morbidelli again headed the Alfa pack and managed to score points with a 7th position finish. The Italian had Dirk Müller and 6th place in his sight but couldn't make a successful move. His team-mates Farfus and Tavano crossed the line 11th and 16th.

SEAT is owned by a manufacturer with a very short name : VW

The H-pattern apparently is lighter than the sequential by around 40kg, I remember reading this somewhere.
