BTCC » Bigger, turbo cars for 'half-price' 2011 BTCC

Rich that days the M3 was a 2.3 4cyl, now a 4.0 V8, wich is a big difference. But in some point you're right. Touring car racing offers the possibility for different concepts (different cyllinder count, FWD vs. RWD, ...) to fight for the same piece of road and that I like most. The V8's are great, but it's not the way the industry is going. Neither are the two-litre turbos. From my point of view: o.k., let's do turbo, but smaller engines and the choice of FWD and RWD.

Wow, some good news on the BTCC front!! I've just started watching videos of the racing from the 90's (1991 onwards), and still much prefer to watch these than modern-day tourers. The racing was incredibly intense, the dirvers had personalities, they had REAL cars (as opposed to little hatchbacks!) and above all it had ENTERTAINMENT. If they can start to match this again, then we are all in for a real treat - so long as dirvers are not penalised for making contact with others!! Roll on 2011!

Ticks all the boxes does it?

Bigger cars - Great
Bigger engines - Great
More power - Great
No RWD - WTF????

Talk about making the rules fair for everyone! (Except BMW) What a surprise
