Jason Plato's SEAT Toledo will head to the scene of its first race victory in the British Touring Car Championship with a lower base weight ♍after series o🍬rganisers have amended the regulations.

S2000 spec cars lose 40 kilos after being down on pace relative to the BTCC spec cars🃏 at the season starting round of the series at Don♊ington Park.

Plato was particularly vocal after the round, likening the event to an 'egg and�ꦉ� spoon' race.

"There needs to be an equal footing," Plato said at the time. "It's clear to everybody to 🐽see, you don't need to be a rocket scientist. The BTCC car has more power, it has more downforce, it's got better brakes, it's got better susp🌌ension - need I go on - and our car weighs 10kg less according to their regulations. Something needs to be done."

And lo and behold, something has happened with the 40kg weight loss for the Toledos, which conveniently enough comes in ♛time for the high speed Thruxton circuit next on the calenda🍌r, which should suit the SEAT car down to the ground, just as it did in 2005.

Also affected by the change will be the HPI💯 Racing Friends Reuntied Lexus, although🔯 it is not expected to challenge for podiums.
