Enigzins terug naar het oude handicap gewicht systeem:
Quote:
In 2007 the FIA WTCC competitors will race under a reduced handicap weight system that was approved by the FIA World Motor Sport Council after a proposal from the Touring Car Commission.
The imposition of handicap weights remains based on different criteria: race results and championship points.
a) a 20 kg handicap is automatically allocated to each driver from the first event in which he takes part;
b) according to the sum of points obtained in the two races of each event, weight handicaps are imposed according to the following scale:
1st + 20 kg (previously + 40 kg)
2nd + 15 kg (previously + 30 kg)
3rd + 10 (previously + 20 kg)
4th + 10 kg (previously + 10 kg)
5th + 10 kg (previously ± 0 kg)
6th + 5 kg (previously – 5 kg)
7th + 5 kg (previously – 10 kg)
8th + 5 kg (previously – 15 kg)
9th - 5 kg (previously – 20 kg)
from 10th onwards - 10 kg (previously – 20 kg)
The maximum handicap weight imposed under b) is set at + 40 kg (previously + 60 kg) and the minimum at – 10 kg (previously – 20 kg).
c) according to the Championship points: 5 kg for every 10 points scored
d) handicap weights a) b) and c) are cumulative up to a maximum of 60 kg (previously 80 kg).

Is naar mijn mening een goede beslissing. Dit jaar was het over de top wat betreft maximale handicap gewicht.
