What do you really think, about next years touring car reg's?
What would you change?

i would have:

bigger wheels
more work's teams
maybe a 300 bhp engine rather than 280/290?bhp
(renault had a 300 bhp in err..'94 i think!)
3 races at each meeting / split the classes into 6 races eg:

touring class 3 races
production class 3 races.

My BTCC Regs go like this:

18" wheels
Wider Slick tyres
Neutral rear wings (for looks only)
2.5 litre 4-6 cylinder engines (about 380BHP)
Tiny brakes (4-pot)
centre mounted exhausts (which must spit lots of flame)
have a no limit ride height (could run ultra low and we could see spays of sparks like the pre-94 F1 cars)

Oh and must be rear wheel drive!

A s long as we get good racing back-last years btcc was poor, despite the close finale and close racing, with 10 cars and a couple of production cars the btcc could not survive. Grids of 20+ are required-the new format looks good, has attracted entries, and will attract more.

this is my list:

great big v8 engines (WOOHOO)
18 inche tyres
wheel arches
Big wings just like in sports car racing.
Loud sounds from the engine.
Outrageous graphics

hope!!!

No need to hope for it, it's already happened. It's called the DTM.

but that's in Germany not Britain. This is what we would like to see, big sexy race cars.
