Tain't what BMW think. Or Alfa Romeo. Or ovloV. Or Vauxhall.
Audi was made to carry a 35kg weight penalty because AWD gave them an
_obvious_ advantage in the last season of the BTCC. They're carrying it again
this year. For next year, AWD has been _BANNED_. Joachim Winkelhoch (BMW's
ex-champion) was asked what he thought the AWD advantage was worth: "On a 20-
lap race? One lap."
Audi entered seven series in 1996. Guess how many they won?
The professionals seem to disagree with you.
