Even some of the bigger series' have at least in some part gone away from 13.5, or at least now refer to 13.5 as super stock. BRCA clubman series is runs a 17.5 class, STCC runs a 21.5 class.

I think its a shame that clubs/series are changing their rules to slow the cars down rather than just educating drivers to not use crazy boost settings and high C rating cells until they can drive cleanly. Anyone can go to an off road club with one of 2 cars, 2wd or 4wd and that is it. Now if you go to a onroad track with a touring car, that one car could fall into a number of classes. I can turn up to 95% of off road clubs with my b4 and just race, if i want to race my TC at any other club than my normal place i have to check their motor reg's, esc reg's and so on. Its no wonder people are moving back to off road in huge numbers.

That is one thing that attracted me to off-road. Touring cars do seems so much more effort
