The series' very existence depends upon the organisers adjusting specs , imposing performance penalties to give the public the show they seem to want . The collateral damage of a regime like that is that unsuccessful teams will moan about successful ones , the reasons for that success and the motivation behind it . BTCC is a very successful reality TV show and that's just fine as long as we accept that is all it is .
The alternative is to have one set of non adjustable rules, perhaps also with a class system - as the then BSCC used to have . The fan demographic was confined more to the hardcore enthusiast rather than casual TV watchers but I certainly enjoyed it far more with a diversity of engine configurations and sizes than the current near homogenity. There was something very endearing about watching a minnow like a Metro Turbo humble big power Rovers and BMWs etc in the wet .
