BTCC allowes probably ETCC (Super2000) cars to attract more cars. IMO S2000 is the future and it's already used in ETCC, OPM (Germany), STCC (Sweden) and other European countries.

And maybe BTCC hopes they attract factory teams like BMW and Alfa (It helped Seat already to join BTCC).

touringcarnut should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
It allows European teams to enter the series without having to build to BTC from stratch. Its been a good move for the championship

Not yet, but BMW GB are thinking about it, possibly.

It will certainly encourage more to do so. SEAT has entered both ETCC and BTCC and if other manufacturers build ETC-spec cars, they can do the same. It probably helps with development also!
