Four models on the maximum handicap weights

All the race winning cars – BMW 320si, SEAT León TDI and Chevrolet Cruze – will carry the maximum 40kg handicap weights in this weekend’s event at Brands Hatch.

The compensation weight was determined by the lap times set in Italy, Belgium and Portugal. According to this calculation, the León TDI emerged as the fastest car, one and two tenths faster than the Cruze and the BMW 320si respectively. Therefore the German cars have 20 kilos added to the compensation weight they were carrying in the two previous events at Zolder and Portimão.

40kg have been also imposed to Robert Dahlgren’s Volvo C30 on its first appearance during the current season.

The Chevrolet Lacetti, Kristian Poulsen’s BMW and Tom Boardman’s petrol powered SEAT León (both the latter are old model) will have 20kg deducted from their minimum weight.
