However, the racing budget for WTCC that N-Tech has is not comparable to a racing budget for BTCC. It may be that racing in WTCC is not that far away budget-wise from racing and developing in BTCC.

Also, you have to remember TD have 2 pay drivers, N Tech I assume are paying Thompson a decent salary.
That is a fair chunk of budget that N Tech have to find themselves just to run. |

Now the only question: has Mugen/Honda offered to do this themselves or is it simply a service JAS and N.Tech are paying for?

Who's tuning the Formula Master Honda engines? If I am correct it's the same engine (K20).

Mugen has been previously involved with JAS with their Civic 3 dr rally car (possibly their endurance racer too). I remember reading they were partners on the rally car project.
