[I hope you recognised the Subaru and BMW BTCC cars
are RWD.

Yes, and I'm saying race largish powerful rear wheel drive sedans that
actually exist:
Merdeces C63 AMG
BMW M3
Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifologio
Kia Stinger GT
Lexus GS F
etc
Why race Holden Vectra, Nissan Maxima and Ford Mondeo sports sedans... it's an irrelevance!?
It doesn't have to be limited to 4-cylinders like the BTCC is: Go ahead and make having at least 6 cylinders mandatory (up the power from the BTCC's 350hp* to say 600hp) and remove the front wheel drive option (that the BTCC has)... The BTCC is just an example of how you can get so many manufacturers involved.

Yes,
that's the key!
Parity is still obtained via the control front and rear subframes, and the aero is equalised too.
* PS. they might be buzz boxes but they are only 50hp less than the 400hp that the V8s were making in Group A in the 1980's. They are really not that slow IMO, but by all means make the ATCC version more powerful.
