Background: Supertouring, Class 2 or Class II Touring Cars were the rules laid out by the FIA for national touring car racing in 1994, based on the 2.0 L formula created for the British Touring Car Championship in 1990. Supertouring replaced Group A as the norm in nearly every touring car championship across the world, but escalating costs and the withdrawal of works teams caused the category to collapse in the late 1990s. The cars looked like regular road cars, while expensive changes had to be made to provide space for racing tyres inside the standard wheel arches. There was no restriction on body size and doors until 1993, when it was changed to only allow cars with a minimum of four doors and no smaller than the EuroNCAP 'Small Family Car' class, although 'Large Family Car' tends to dominate the category. Until 1995, teams were only permitted for fit aerodynamic device that were available through dealers, but that changed when in 1994 BTCC season, Alfa Romeo entered a 155 with Gabriele Tarquini and Giampiero Simoni as drivers. The car had a front spoiler with a bottom piece which could be unscrewed and moved forward, acting as a splitter, and a rear spoiler with a pair of extensions, giving the car more downforce. As Alfa Romeo won the first five rounds, Ford, supported by Vauxhall made a complaint to the race stewards and then responded by building their own production spoilers, which was banned by the organisers, TOCA. TOCA also decided the aero device was illegal and was stripped of points they earned at Snetterton and Silverstone and was later reinstated along with the spoilers upon appeal. Soon afer that, the FIA changed the regulation in all series to allow cars to only use non-production aerodynamic devices with a restricted size. Restrictions varied from body type to bodies as Volvo also debuted their 850 Estate the same season as Alfa Romeo, only were forced to revert to their 4-door model the following season, when they found themselves to be disvantaged against the new rules. In the Italian Supertourismo category, teams entered extended spoilers without complaints. Alfa Romeo also homlogated 2500 road cars, which was the minimum, for that season to allow their 1.8 L car with an advantage of a higher rev limit to enter, that was also changed to only non-homlogated cosumer models to enter.
