There isn't a BTC championship as such, but all the drivers using that specification of car will want to be the top dog in that group.
Thats what I was meaning. Thought I'd made it clear by using "group" rather than class.Quote:

On another note pleased as punch for Mat Jackson. I would imagine getting such a good car as an ex-RBM 320si for any team boss must be good. It is a proven race and championship winning make and model of car. I offer him my best wishes for 2007.
