 Response to Business Travel Contractors Corporation's Request for Business Review Letter
BTCC would require that its customers commit contractually to use Business Contract Fares for at least 90 percent of their business travel on city-pair routings for which such fares are available.
BTCC has, however, committed to negotiate these contracts on a relatively short term basis and to impose no sanctions, other than not renewing the contract, on any corporate customer that uses Business Contract Fares for less than 90 percent of their air travel purchases.
Thus, BTCC's customers may effectively terminate their contracts at any time and are unlikely to be constrained from switching to a venture offering them a more favorable package of air fares and travel services.

Mazda, Toyota and Alfa Romeo were the first three winners of the decade as the championship continued to be run for different sized classes of cars, but the mighty Ford Sierra RS500 and BMW M3 are probably the two most evocative models of the period.

 btcc:action >> Drivers >> Jason Plato   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Jason Plato is one of the BTCC's most successful racers, having won 28 times in the series (after Croft 06) and is also one of the sport's most poular characters, thanks to his extensive work in motoring-related TV programmes.
Although the Vectra of 2000, the last of the super touring era, was not as competitive as Plato may have liked (he finished fifth in the championship yet again, although this time with three wins) it was to be 2001 and the new era of the BTCC in which Plato was to flourish.
However, the equivalency formula set by the BTCC (Seat were running a ETCC class car compared to the BTC class cars run by most of the field) meant that on several occasions the extra weight carried on the Toledo's held back the team's title challenge.
