More weight for BMW and SUNRED

For the next WTCC event at Suzuka the BMW 320 TC and SUNRED SR León 1.6T cars will be running on heavier weights compared to the Valencia meeting.

According to the calculation of the compensation weight based on the lap times set in the three previous events (Donington, Oschersleben and Valencia), the Chevrolet Cruze 1.6T remains the reference car and will be carrying again 40 kilos in addition to the minimum weight of 1150 kg.

The gaps between the Cruze and the BMW and SUNRED cars are of 0.5 and 0.6 seconds respectively, meaning that the German machines will be laden with 20 kilos of extra weight, and the Spanish ones with 10 kg.

The Volvo C30 will run again on its minimum weight (1150 kg) just like in Valencia, while the only model allowed to a weight reduction in Japan will be the BMW 320si (-20kg).
