Success Ballast

Due to the results obtained in the previous round, James Nash received +30 kg, Roberto Colciago +20 kg and Kevin Gleason +10 kg.[1] Nevertheless, Colciago and Gleason did not take part at this event, so they did not take the ballast.

In addition, the Balance of Performance was reviewed for this round: all TCR cars were given a 20 kg weight break, bringing them back to their base weights. This was applied in an attempt to balance them with the CTCC cars entered for the event.[2]
