Nope no Vtec ( it sucks ), all cars have to use standard parts, brakes , gear box`s etc, they can fiddle with the ratios slightly in the box, but thats about it, as for bodywork, lightweight pannels are a no no , and they have to reatain the original glass as well.

Each event they generally have 2 races, and the winner of the 1st has to carry ballast for the second race, to even it up a bit, its usually pretty close and intence racing,

This year Honda are generally doing well, and getting good postions when racing , but they keep breaking dowm which is not so good !!

Hey, if they are basically "throwing out" all the stock Type-R bumpers and aero bits, why don't they sell them on the cheap to us over here???;)

Just a heads up, Temple of VTEC gives updates on Honda's progress in BTCC when the info is available.

Your crazy.... ;)

No, actually I like the whole package, but I don't think I would like the wing on a stock SiR, even with a CTR spoiler package.
