[BIANTE] BTCM rule freeze



Biante Touring Car Masters' rule freeze

The Biante Touring Car Masters has announced a rule freeze for the next two years.

After two seasons of developing and honing the series technical regulations, the Biante Touring Car Masters is satisfied that the ideal balance within the category has been struck with the current 2009 regulations.

This current freeze of the technical regulations will allow competitors to build cars without risk of any subtle changes to the specifications until the start of the 2011 season.From a spectator perspective, one of the most notable and exciting rule changes for the Biante Touring Car Masters in 2009 is the introduction of reverse grid races which are set to further spice up the racing action.

The top eight drivers from race one will be reversed on the starting grid for race two, while the race-three starting positions will be decided based on the aggregate points scored in the first two races.The Biante Touring Car Masters technical regulations will be reassessed at the end of the 2010 season.

DREW MARGET - BTCM Director of Technical Development:

"Since the inception of the Biante Touring Car Masters, we have been developing the technical regulations and making subtle changes to fine tune the series."We believe that the rules now reflect the vision held by all stakeholders."Biante and V8 Supercars wanted to retain the original sideways racing spectacle but see advances in reliability and closer competition.

"Competitors too wanted improved reliability but also easier servicing, and an increased level of safety that reflected the intensity of the competition in this category. "We feel we've got the balance right between technical specifications and racing formats."Accordingly, we've decided to lock away the technical regulations and make no further changes to the series' rules for two years, when we will review them again at the end of the 2010 season.

"This offers stability for licence holders so they know that the rules aren't going to change for at least two years, which is a great assistance for competitors building their cars."
