British Touring Car organiser TOCA has introduced another turbo boost reduction ahead of this weekend's Croft round.TOCA reduced the amount of boost allowed for the turbo machines by 0.1 bar ahead of round three at Thruxton. But with the turbo Hondas setting the pace at Thruxton and Oulton Park, it has now introduced another 0.05 bar boost reduction.BTCC boss Alan Gow said: "We've reduced the boost as part of an ongoing review of the equivalency and will continue to look at it."The suspended 0.05 bar reduction introduced prior to Oulton remains, meaning the turbo machines could be made to run 0.1 bar lower at Croft than they have done so far this season.AUTOSPORT understands a comprehensive review of the turbo-normally aspirated equivalency will take place during the summer break between Croft and August's Snetterton round.
