So much for Subaru's last minute weight penalty. Gow has busted that one.

Just to clarify, it's not related to front/rear weight distribution; it's a calculation to even-out the centre of gravity (CoG) difference between the flat-four and inline-four engines when mounted in RWD cars.

The team have had the CoG calculation since it was done by RML, agreed and issued on January 20th at the BTCC Design Group meeting - the team is a member of that Design Group.

In very simple terms it's a graph that provides the team with a sliding-scale combination of some weight added to the front bulkhead or an increase in the sprung-mass floor height of the car (but not the front and rear aero ride-heights). Providing it meets the line on the graph then the team can decrease the weight on the bulkhead and increase the floor height, or vice-versa, to suit the balance of their car.

On the Wednesday before Brands Hatch there was a minor re-calculation of only -2.5kg...and actually that was a re-calculation in favour of the Subaru. But other than that, nothing has changed since it was issued on January 20th so I can only assume that any significant 'late changes' to the set-up of the cars must have been ones that the team themselves decided upon.
