FIA really under estimated the power of whats possible from the turbo engines combined with ERS, considering the extra weight they are definetly pulling more power then with the V8s, 800-850hp is around whats happening now.
James may still did the used car segment in season 2 & 3, honestly I think it was around season 4 when it started to push to another direction, before that it wasn't that serious but it was still very factual.
The zenvo review was moronic to say the least, 1100hp rwd in the rain is always going to end badly but it would of been a really good lap to see if it was in the dry.
Not entirely, there are plenty of segments of the show that could be changed to embrace world culture, but the show tries it utmost to stay British, which wouldn't happen on a non BBC show for sure.
Given his form in GT and plenty of FWD rally experience i would say he has a good chance to do well, beating muller would make him the best driver in history of any disapline but i think if they car is good he can get regular podiums.
Fair to say at this rate BTCC is getting back to full greatness, WTCC can't fill stands anywhere near as full as whats happening in Britian right now, and the driver line up is starting to improve as well.
Wouldn't be surprised if a Factory team from WTCC moves over soon.
You want wow, i watched a replay of last years race thinking it was live and i posted what i thought was what happened in this years race, thats why the post above just says edit.
