British Touring Car Championship boss Alan Gow has not ruled out changing the NGTC rules regarding the performance levels of rear-wheel-drive cars for 2015.

The pace of the WSR-prepared BMW 125i M Sport this season has caused many in the paddock to suggest the RWD machines have an advantage over the FWD majority under the NGTC regulations.

Gow does not believe there is a specific RWD issue - and pointed to the abilities of WSR and newly crowned champion Colin Turkington - but confirmed that any car considered too fast would be assessed.

"It's like every year - at the end of each season we'll look at it and do any rebalancing we need to," he said.

"I've been running this championship 25 years and RWD has only won the title five times.

"If someone came out with a stonking FWD car, we'd have to do something about that.

"If someone's got a bigger tennis racket you have to make the adjustment."

Rear-wheel-drive cars won 10 of this season's 30 BTCC rounds, eight of those with Turkington.

His WSR team-mate Rob Collard and Audi team owner/driver Rob Austin claimed the other two.
