But surely if they can afford to run a car in the WTCC they can afford the BTCC?

Even though the WTCC is going to be poo next season at least they're not racing at Curitiba and now racing at Interlagos Smile

The WTCC is dead to me.

by lfcnicklfc Thu 9 Dec 2010 - 19:27

it's dead to everyone they've alienated themselves from the world and the rules are just awful to be fair!

Well that's a big fat middle finger to the BTCC then

I've nothing much against the rules (although I do prefer NGTC) but when you get to a situation where the world championship for Touring Cars happens to be Sprint races in cars that have smaller engines than the worlds domestic series, you really have to wonder if its really worth it.

If the new DTM rules are more production based, a world championship will naturally form from it between SuperGT, Grand Am, V8 Supercar and the DTM itself, surely!

S2000...... 1.6????? should it not be the S1600? lol

by **ckBrenneke** Wed 19 Jan 2011 - 21:46

No, S2000 chassis, with the new 1.6 turbo engine, but still termed S2000. Or are you taking the mick? Smile

by **Matt** Wed 19 Jan 2011 - 22:15

Though in a bizzarre act of confusion the WTCC are allowing both 2.0l and 1.6l into the series next year. Let the grandfathering commence!!!

by **Ianmr** Wed 19 Jan 2011 - 23:23

I was taking the mick Razz

As it's a 1.6 Turbo and Super1600s are N/A.

Hence the S2000 was called the S2000, as it was a 2l engine with very high lift race cams for high reving.

Correct me if i'm wrong? lol
