Regulations overview - From
2007, only teams and drivers running to the FIA Super 2000 formula
were eligible for the two major awards - the BTCC Drivers’
and Manufacturers’ titles. The base weights of all S2000 cars
will be increased in 2007 by 30kgs to bring them in line with FIA
regulations that apply in the FIA World Touring Car Championship.
Certain specific components such as the gearbox, brakes, clutch, engine
management, wheels, fuel system and data logging - are common to all
cars and can only be purchased from one supplier.
The car must feature no ‘exotic’ materials, carbon-fibre
for example, except for safety applications. The weight of the car can
vary as the official handicap, or 'success ballast' is added or subtracted
to a maximum of plus 42kgs or minus 24kgs.
The cars all run on 17-inch wheels, with tyres from Dunlop, the official
tyre supplier and championship title sponsor.
