If there was no BoP the LMP3 situation would happen where everyone had to get rid of the slower Ginetta and buy anything else to have a chance of racing.

It means you don't have to buy new machinery or updates every season or sooner just to be competitive, saving a lot of money.

I agree with you, the problem is that the TCR concept is young. Now there is more pressure with the WTCR, the manufacturer are more involved. This is only the first year and to sort out a good BOP is not easy, just looks what happened in WEC for the GT cars...

I have no problem the Hyundai domination at this stage, they have prepared a fantastic car and even with an harsher BOP they clearly show that the i30 is the car to beat this year.

Obviously for the next seasons I would expect something better
