First look: Fiona Leggate's BTCC Astra.

A sneak peek at an artist's impression of the Vauxhall Astra Coupe that Fiona Leggate plans to contest the Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship from the Croft round in July.

The female British racer plans to contest the latter part of the premier British tin top race series using the Vauxhall Astra Coupe used by Yvan Muller in 2004.

As well as Fiona being a female up against the current all male line-up in the series, the Astra will also be powered by bio-ethanol fuel.

"When I'm on the track I obviously don't consider myself any different from any of the other blokes, I'm hoping that I can stay there or thereabouts and do a good job for all the girls out there," Fiona told Crash.net.
