Ballast

edit

Due to the results obtained in the previous round, Roberto Colciago and Dušan Borković both received +30 kg, while Hugo Valente received +10 kg.[1]

The Balance of Performance was also adjusted for this event, meaning the Alfa Romeo Giulietta TCRs was deprived of its -20 kg weight break, it will therefore run its minimum weight of 1285 kg. The Opel Astra TCRs was also given a weight break, going down from +40 kg to +20 kg.[2]
