IF they change the rules to slow down the rwd bmw's i'd love it if turkington jumped the gun and switched to a fwd and beat them at there own game.
I don't see why the rules need to be changed. Turkington has had the same type of year Jordan had last year, and the same as Seddon before, everything has just worked for him. He's been consistent with scoring points even when he wasn't the quickest. Collard, Foster, Abbot and Austin are also in rear wheel drive cars and they've been relatively nowhere...

I think the RWD / FWD issue is not about how quick or slow a driver is in the car its about the start. RWD has an advantage. Its clear. Even with the longer 1st gear the BMW's (didn't see the audis starts so couldn't comment) still had an advantage. On average I'd say that the RWD runners probably made up 2 places at the start of every race, if you assume they keep those 2 places over the course of the race thats 60 point or more over the course of a season.

So the first 2 fully confirmed team and driver combination sorted will start a entry list with confirmed cars and drivers only.
Great news to have another manufacture backed teams in the btcc.
Its not a manufacturer backed team per say, its just sponsorship, the same way Infiniti sponsor Red Bull.Great news to have another manufacture backed teams in the btcc.
They are interested enough to sponsor, hopefully this may lead to a full on works effort in the future.

Liking most of it infact, more ballast is a good thing as it wasn't doing much this year and the 2nd race start positions from fastest laps in race 1.DanielSan said:
Anyone know what's happening to Moffat's car? I've heard Chris Stockton was apparently buying it but not seen anymore about that. Curious really as I've just seen the shell on the back of a trailer going down the M6
It's been stripped and is on its way to its new home.Gassing Station | General Motorsport | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
