In the BTCC, the problem doesn't end there.  Audi is the only company with a 
five-valve per cylinder car in series production, and no longer has a four-
valve per cylinder design on sale to the public in the A4.  The other 
manufacturers have succeeded in getting Audi's engine banned - so Audi is not 
only racing with a 95kg weight penalty and under threat of having their AWD 
banned - they only have two years left on the four-valve engine.
