Recalculation for BMW weight

By

The compensation weight for the BMW 320 TC has been adjusted after an earlier miscalculation by the FIA. The eight 320 TCs will now run with an additional 10kg this weekend in Hungary.

The FIA confessed a miscalculation was responsible for the earlier information which stated that the BMWs were to run with no compensation weight.

There have been other updates to the compensation weight list with the last minute confirmation that Fredy Barth, Michel Nykjaer and Pepe Oriola will race with the new SUNRED 1.6 litre turbo engine this weekend in their SEAT Leóns. As a result, the three will run with a late entry ballast of 40kg.
