Most of the cars in the video have come in to contact with a EP3/DC5 Honda...

Basically the same car underneath and this was a time where their was more freedom on manufacturing parts if you had the budget. If you would of seen the lower arms on the Hondas (Even with the FN2 S2000) you'll see they invested in billet alloy lower arms and good quality rose joint's along with strong mounting points.

NGTC rules were written to provide equality amongst the field at a motorsport reasonable cost.

Over the years their have been many more comings together than retirements with NGTC (And even more savings for teams as £80 worth of shear plates is better than a 5k subframe and an £800 uprite)

I agree with Greem to finish 1st first you have to finish and not crash in to people in hope your car won't break when you make a pass!

Back on to it - I think longer races at some events, not all as BTCC is more a sprint format compared to the Aussie V8's. We know it can be done as they have done it once at Snett
