Weights changed following SEAT request

By

The penalty weights have been changed for the race at Imola following a request from the SEAT team. The FIA statement reads:
“Considering the particular weather conditions in which the qualifying took part (at Oschersleben) and the impossibility of calculating a realistic time…”

“…the Stewards decide to allocate the time set during Q1 as the notional time in application of Art. 79 A)1) of the 2009 FIA WTCC Sporting Regulations.”

Because of this, the BMW 320si has been moved to be the fastest car of the race at Oschersleben, 0.1 seconds faster than the SEAT Leon TDI.

But the only change to the list is that the Chevrolet Cruze is going to carry an additional ten kilos.

+ 40 kg BMW 320si, SEAT León TDI
+ 30 kg Chevrolet Cruze LT
– 20 kg BMW 320si Zanardi, LADA Priora, SEAT León TFSI
