I am surprised it is so contentious!
The point is that the BTCC Audi, Mercedes, Toyota, Alfa, Renault etc all use the category engine and
nobody cares that these vehicles don't have the correct engine.
With Team18 quitting due to costs, every measure to reduce costs in Supercars seems critical. Replacing a $150,000AUD engine that requires lots of machining and custom parts and can only run around 5,000km between rebuilds, with a relatively unmodified category engine that costs $25,000AUD and can run 10,000km between rebuilds seem an important step to containing costs.
