Ballast

Due to the results obtained in the previous round, Attila Tassi received +30 kg, Norbert Michelisz +20 kg and Pepe Oriola +10 kg. Nevertheless, Michelisz didn't take part at this event, so he didn't take the ballast.^[1]

With the DSG equipped Audi RS3 LMS TCRs and SEAT León TCRs had their ride height reduced to 60mm.^[2]
