Its what the BTCC was like in the 60s though. Some cars (Galaxies etc) being much quicker down the straights and some better through the bends (Minis,Escorts etc)...

Best races in the support classes so far this year - perhaps helped by the lack of Porsches? Clio race had some of the best laps racing they've had in years.

I think this weekend its clear that parity has been achieved. No-one bolted away down the straights.


Turbo cars were still clearly quicker down the start finish straight - there were occasions when both the Chevy's and BMWs got better exits off the hairpin but by the 1st corner had dropped behind the turbo cars.

It balanced out because the non-turbos were better through the corners - at the moment I think the parity is similar to WTCC a few years ago where the Seats had the edge down the straights, but the BMWs and Chevys were faster through the twisty bits. I'm not sure this is perfect parity, but I think it's probably as good as it can be.


Who the fuck wants perfect parity? Perfectly matched cars across all areas of the track = no passing. The best recipe for good racing is cars with different strengths.

I read that Q & A, which cemented an opinion in me that Plato is not a nice guy.
