My views as a race watcher (rather than a driver team owner with insight into the costs or an engineer with insights into setup etc):-
The series is flourishing and the grids are full, with a good variety of manufacturers. We have a variety of cars on the grid, and not all look the same.
The cars are generally recent / new models. BTCC is not reliant on old out of date cast offs from other racing series.
The racing has been generally good. There is not a huge gap of performance between the top dozen or so.
We still get regular whining about RWD / FWD advantages / disadvantages, but generally speaking I think that the balance of performance has been about right in recent years - some tracks suit one over the other of course.
Relatively small teams can build a competitive car without factory support.
We have a good mix of new drivers alongside established older drivers.
