Here is the Toyota Avensis for the BTCC, the British Touring Car Championship, which begins April 3 at Brands Hatch. The car, these days, is subject to a series of wind tunnel tests of Mira, in Great Britain. Created under the new regulatory NGTC (Next Generation Touring Car), the Avensis was conducted by GPR Motorsport.
Two teams have already booked for the Avensis NGTC used in the BTCC 2011 season: This is the Team and Team Dynojet Speedworks. Particularly interesting: the race car was tested in the wind tunnel with a model road. Thus, GPR Motorsport engineers have the chance to see the airflow, and decide which will take place as to the large rear wing, in proportion to the aerodynamic work as efficiently as possible.
More technical details (power generated by the 2-liter turbo engine and chassis) will be announced later. What is certain is that - according to the regulations coming into force this year - the Tourism British series promises to be interesting, given that the cars will be equipped with engines with turbo and supercharged Super 2000, as required by the new rules NGTC ( Next Generation Touring Car), designed to be maintained for the next three years.
