Snadder dette, men når ble det tillatt med turbomotor i BTCC?

New rules to be introduced in 2011!

The British Touring Car Championship has announced new rules - "Next Generation Touring Car" or NGTC.

�The broad concept for our �Next-Gen� cars was that they should be larger than some current ones, be more exciting, faster, safer and also much cheaper to build, buy and maintain as well as provide a more �level playing field�, meaning even better, closer racing� if better and closer racing is possible for the BTCC!" said series organizer Alan Gow.

The cars are going to use two liter turbo charged engines and use a lot of standardized parts like sub frames, gearbox, suspension and brakes.

 

The NGTC cars are mainly going to be larger family sized cars and not smaller ones like some of the S2000 cars have moved towards.

 

The rules are planned to be introduced in 2010 and will, according to BTCC, reduce costs for the team with 50%.

 

�These new cars tick all those boxes and more. Of course the best driver and team will still achieve the greatest success in our championship.

 

But, as these new regulations will be much more restrictive on major expenditure, then a team�s greater bank balance will not necessarily equate to greater success. And, in my view, that is exactly how it should be.�

 

The decision to introduce these rules have been unanimously voted through by the BTCC teams.

 

The introduction of the NGTC rules means that the S2000 cars are going to be fazed out, meaning new investments for the teams. But series organizer Gow has taken this in to consideration.

 

�Our teams now have clear direction on what the future BTCC car will be, whilst (very importantly) protecting their investment in the S2000 cars they currently run right up until 2013," said Gow.

 

The work with the new rules started in 2008 and Peter Riches, who was involved in the Super Touring rules, has been involved in the work with these rules.

 

�In October 2008 I instigated the process of putting together the technical working groups to undertake a research exercise in order to consider where our regulations should be heading for the future, given those parameters I outlined before.

 

�These two groups (one for engines and one for chassis) are populated by some of the brightest and most knowledgeable talents in touring car racing. Many hours of hard work and great thought were put into this project and for that I thank those directly involved, as well as the BTCC teams and our own TOCA technical manager Peter Riches," said Gow.

 

The main reason for the introduction of the rules is to reduce the costs according to Gow.

 

�Of huge significance is the fact that we have now achieved a massive cost reduction for teams to compete in the BTCC, with car/engine build and running costs which will be some 50 per cent below the present level.

 

The fact that most teams will be able to undertake a very serious BTCC effort for around half the cost they have today also makes the dream of competing in the BTCC much more of a reality for many new teams and drivers."
