Jason Plato's SEAT Toledo will head to the scene of its first race victory in the British Touring Car Championship with a loweꩲr base weight after series organisers have amended the regulations.

S2000 spec cars lose 40 kilos after being down on pace relative to the BTCC spec cars at tꦡhe season starting round of the series at Doningt꧋on Park.

Plato was pa๊rticularly vocal after the round, likeningᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ the event to an 'egg and spoon' race.

"There needs to be an equal footing," Plato said at the time. "It's clear to everybody to see, you don't need to be a rocket scientist. The BTCC car has more power, it has more downforce, it's got better brakes, it's got better suspension - need I go on - and oౠur car weighs 10kg less according to their regulations. Something needs 😼to be done."

And lo and behold, something has happened with the 40kg weight loss for the Toledos, which conveniently enough comes in time for the high speed Thruxton circuit next on the calendar, wh🌱ich should suit the SEAT car down to the ground, just as it did in 2005.

Also affected by the change will be 𒁃the HPI R♎acing Friends Reuntied Lexus, although it is not expected to challenge for podiums.
