Lexus BTCC car
I noticed that the Lexus BTCC car from this year sounds practically the same as Matt Neal's BMW from 1993. Does this have to do with the transmission used by the TMSR team?:confused: :confused:

Well I think the system they use is for rear-wheel drive cars. But, you're right, the car is fantastic.
