Why a BTCC 'joker' trial isn't the answer to 2019's racing

The 2019 BTCC season has hardly been a classic, but it played host to a 'joker' experiment last time out at Snetterton that won praise, but is it the answer to improving the racing?

It's become expected of the British Touring Car Championship to produce breathless racing. But out of the 18 races so far this season, 10 have been won by the polesitter.

That number has been skewed by the introduction of the BMW 330i M Sport, responsible for seven of the light-to-flag victories. But, throughout the pack, the racing so far in 2019 hasn't been vintage.
