The Future of BTCC
So, Plato in administration, another decent driver leaving presumably due to budget issues, Proctor, Lloyd and what seemed like half the GT3/4 Pro drivers at Snetterton yesterday who can't afford a BTCC drive.
So I thought we as reddit may as well fix things. I've said it before on here and got downvoted to hell, but I'll say it again - costs need to come down considerably, Gow needs to lose his ego and think of the sport. As someone succinctly put on twitter earlier, "TCR needs the prestige of BTCC, and BTCC needs the costs of TCR". Of course, the issue with that is that the BTCC teams would be left with cars and spares only fit for CTRC, with associated values...
So what is the answer? I know we'll have the comments along the lines of "this is all cyclical, everything will be fine", but I think my point would be that when things were on their arse before, drastic measures were taken!
