Oh this is awesome. An Evo with 400bhp. If this goes well, The Evo could also be known as a Race car and a Rally car!

They should think about dropping the 4WD, not because the car needs it for BTCC but so it would be open to more series in the future. Though i think the Evo 4WD system is FWD based so going RWD would probably be hard.

I've always wondered why the evo's and even imprezas didn't do more track racing.

This could be the next trend in the future of BTCC, or road racing. A 4WD system applied in the road race, why not.... It's like Audi Quattro first introduced a 4WD system in the World Rally Champhionship.

Is Kaye the guy who raced Jeremy Clarkson in a Murcielago? And he spun it as well...

Electra, four-wheel drive cars have been used in circuit racing for years. But they provide very little gain (less rear wheel wear) and suffer from weight penalties. So powerful cars get rear-wheel drive (grand tourers, V8 Supercar, DTM) and Super 2000 or less powerful touring cars remain front-wheel drive.
