Long times ago I saw a WTCC race and it looked very interesting. I tried to know sth more about series and found out these stupid rules. Reverse order on grid to 2nd race is of course stupid, but there is also a ballast added to cars depends of what type of engine competitor use - I don't know details could someone explain it to me?. For me such a rules make the series no longer sport but the show. I' would very like to watch WTCC (it's like F1 to tourism cars) but those absurdal rules prevent me from it. Would you imagine in F1 with similar ideas? 100 % agree with Robinho and Bdunell this should have no place in serious championship. I really don't know why FIA ruin this super racing and changed into show.

I think teh BTCC system works fine - reversed grid shakes things up and the lottery prevents drivers only fighting for 8th.
Very well thought through

I like the reverse grids because it stops one man winning every race (unless you copy Mr Plato in 04!) I think it keeps the racing close but the WTCC is generally useless because there are way too many rule breaks for the cars...
Please ignore ALL of the above....

Did anyone watch the first race in Macau over the weekend? About three or four cars deliberately slowed down to try and finish 8th.
The sad part is that was the most interesting bit of the whole race

if they are going to reserve the grid then reserve exactly half that finished.... 20 finish and 10 get reversed. Give even more of the mid-field a chance
I've got friends racing all over the world.... good luck to you all.

it is not a case of ruining it but trying to appease everyone.
Just remember that in the BTCC Mr Gow just puts out a safety car whenever he feels like it.
I would prefer tweaks and other interventions than see the same car or brand winning every race by a mileI've got friends racing all over the world.... good luck to you all.
