BTCC 2013 Season

Janesy B said:
The Astra will be a 5 door because 3 door cars can only enter if they have the same silhouette as the 5 door variant. That will rule out coupe like hatchbacks.

Also because the cars have to be a minimum length of 4.4m and some of the 2/3 door variations are not long enough.



I'm really looking forward to this season. It's looking like it will be a full grid too. Bring on Brands.

The 3 and 5 door Astra do have the same silhouette, don't they? Certainly not a bigger difference than the 1 Series and thats clearly OK as WSR are using the 3 door.

The 3 Door Astra is 4290mm long and the 5 door is 4419mm so I'm guessing that's where the 3 door is falling foul of the regs.

Both Jordan and Smith will be racing under the Pirtek Racing banner this year - I believe Pirtek have extended their support for the 2014 & 2015 seasons already
