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.
