Story After long standing complaints by BMW the Touring Car Bureau has acted by halving the Seat TDi' s rev limit from 8500 to 4100. It won't make a massive difference but should reduce or remove SEAT's top end advantage. |

Cutting their revs in half seems mighty steep. |

It's not as harsh at it seems because they never managed to rev up to that anyway. That was more a limit for the petrols, but apparently it did allow SEAT some crucial extra grunt at the end of the straight. |

let's just hope it's not too little to late to keep BMW's interest beyond 2008 |

Lets also hope that it doesn't cause SEAT to walk away too. I sympathise with the Bureau it's an impossible juggling act sometimes. |

loosing either would mean an end of WTCC... but I cannot help but feel having BMW in is a bigger draw to other potential manufacturer's than Seat... still if BMW should leave... Lada are on the horizon |

It's not possible to have a "natural" champion in the WTCC whether they drive a BMW or SEAT or anything else. Being artifical hasn't exactly hurt NASCAR. |
