I think that the higher quality of driver and closeness in the BTCC (and other national european series) that lead to processions. Not the aerodynamics of the cars.
Think about it. F1 cars of the 1980's would have more downforce than Super Tourers, but there was great racing. Only recently in F1 has aerodynamics restricted overtaking.
However, even now WTCC has races that are processions (compared with ST BTCC) I think this is due to the equally matched drivers and the fact most drivers are team -mates. (last year the grid was made up of about 300 SEATS, 176 BMW and a few dozen Alfa's
