A decade of NGTC - has it worked?

Yes - and I think it is a lot better now.

Since the introduction of NGTC, the following teams have prepared a car that took the Drivers' title:

BMR, WSR, Dynamics and Eurotech.

When you consider that the Eurotech car was designed, and supported by Dynamics, it shows that the best teams will still take the titles.
In the independents' though, title-winning cars have also come from:

Speedworks, AmD and Motorbase.

So to that end - NGTC allows the 'small' teams to have success and compete at the sharp end of the grid. Isn't that a lot better than the mid-'90s where manufacturers ruled the show and independent, smaller teams were destined to never taste success?
