Green Flag MSA Britisꦜh Touring Car officials have granted cars running to European༒ Touring Car regulations a 25-kilogram reduction in weight from the next three championship rounds at Mondello Park on 12-13 June.

The announce🐻ment will affect SEAT Sport UK's Toledo model and privateer teams Edenbridge Racing's BMW 320i, Team Sureterm's Alfa Romeo 156 GTA and Team Quest/V🌟arta's Honda Civic.

BTCC Series Director Alan Gow sai🥀d that the decision was taken after detailed analysis of performance of both ETCC and BTCC-spec cars running in Britain.

"In the best interests of the BTCC, the two types of ca♈rs should boast equal performance," Gow commented.✨ "That is essential in generating more of the exceptionally close racing we have witnessed so far this season.

"In the last three ET✤CC meetings, SEAT's Toledo has proved it is now on a par with the be🅠st out there from established leaders Alfa Romeo and BMW.

"💃It should therefore be equal in performance to the best of the BTCC-spec cars, such as the Vauxhall Astras and Honda Civics. I believe a 25kg weight reduction will achieve this equality."
