How to make the WTCC more interesting?

[Eunos]

I think a 1 Lap shoot out Qualifying would be Pretty Cool..

Or atleast they could do their Qualifying Similar to the Way DTM does theirs, The Final 4 Cars are given 1 Lap to get their Best Time..

Also i would like to see a Better variety off Car's, All it is today is Beemers and Seats with afew Chevvy's Sprinkled inbetween..

Do it like FIA GT3 a few years ago:
> Each Manufacturer can have 3 teams of a maximum of 3 cars representing them
> Each team MUST have a different colour scheme
> All S2000 cars from around the world should be eligable
> One off entrants should not be penalised with Ballast
> Race weekends should comprise of either 2 races of 30mins or 1 race of 1 hour (possible two-driver enduros as well)

I agree. Get rid of success ballast as well, this is a world championship for gods sake

It would be a bit like saying to Roger Federer that he's got to play with one hand tied behind his back because he's ranked the #1 tennis player in the world, wouldn't it?

Some people make the silly argument that it makes for closer racing.

Why don't they go back to basics and to how the WTCC originally was, two-driver endurance races!

Or like saying to Chelsea, 'sorry you've won you last couple of games, your now going to play with 10 men'

yeah, Cars should just be equalized PROPERLY if they want to make it "fair" eg:
> Have a session at a circuit somewhere in Europe where an INDEPENDANT test driver drives all the S2000 cars and then the cars can be equalized before the season starts and everyone can stop complaining.

[Daniel]

No, equalisation is a crock of ****. Back in the supertourer days Peugeot never really had a good enough package to do well, consequently they didn't do well. That's the way it should be, don't put the cash in? You won't get victories.

[Mark]

True dat. You'd have the same farce as the BTCC where it would seem to an outsider that the governing body basically decides who is going to win this year!

If it turns out that 4wd is quickest then they should win. If RWD is quickest, they should win. If Diesels are quickest, they should win. Simple.

Having the cars equalised at all is a pile of poo and makes a complete mockery of the entire sport.

Hopefully, next year when the engines are 1.6 turbo's, the performance will be more excting. something around 320-340 bhp would spice things up a bit.
