supertouring should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Didn't touring car teams add weight to the rather loosely attached rear bumpers, so first bit of contact with another car saw bumper and associated weight fly off?

And what about the VLM exhaust problem @ Donnington in 1991? The exhausts were outside of the noise limits (due to them being totally illegal!) and their cars were likely to be deducted points if they failed scruttineering after race. Only first 6 cars would be checked, so VLM car running 6th stopped at line to let team-mate through, team-mate checked and disqualifed, driver promoted to 6th to get points and not checked.
