It seems so!
BOP would also be the best way to balance turbocharged engines and vehicles with shorter wheelbases (like the Z and Supra) and so on.
Should Herrod Performance withdraw the Coyote and present a turbo Barra for homologation as part of a shift of the ATCC towards turbocharged six-cylinder engines perhaps?
Presumably the "world class and robust" technical parity processes can handle it even without BOP...
A turbo Barra ATCC-style touring car in action, though I'm not convinced the drivability is necessary better than a naturally aspirated V8! [Also:
the GM LF3/LF4 V6 twin-turbo ATCC-style touring car in action which seems somewhat more drivable.]
In any case, it will be important to make sure technical parity processes are sufficient to perfectly balance not only naturally aspirated V8s but also turbocharged six-cylinders, if technical parity will continue to be used instead of balance-of-performance.
