[BTCC] BTCC 2018 Rumours & Silly Season

[BLiTZ]

I think the Swindon engine has a big part to play in the poor performance of certain teams. In previous years the TOCA spec unit has been the engine to beat in terms of straight line performance and could make a mediocre car appear better than some of the more high-end builds. This year it appears the TOCA unit has been reigned in slightly and now teams need to focus on chassis and setup (harder for the indy's) to stay at the sharp end.

Speedworks seem to be getting things right as they're the better of the TOCA engined entries and Eurotech have the excellently engineered TD chassis. But the rest of the field seem to be struggling behind the NBE and Mountune powered teams.
