A wrote a longer relply in your website, but i try to summerize that in english here: Stronger series - F1-FOM/MotoGP-DORNA has the power to make middle term deals with factories and force them. Obviously Eurosport Events or ACO has not got such a power/potency. Based on the privateers situation i think EE shares only a small margin of its revenue with the competitors. I guess - only guess, because I don't find sources - EE have to have more than 20-25 million Euro/USD revenue from WTCC in a single season. The 10 track pays a license charge/license fee for the weekends, and in some years ago I read that was more than a million euro. EE also has money from the trackside advertising and from title sponsors + the television rights also represents a decent amount of money - it's hard to say the exact value, because the main media partner is the organizer itself, so we could only just guess the market value of the TV rights- but all in all I THINK EE should be at least 20-25 million euro/USD per year from WTCC, and imho they should share at least half of them with the competitors, but we officialy can know only one thing: competitors has to pay for the EE about 40-50 000 Euro/season for racing. EE might be pay for some teams, but I THINK it should based on ad-hoc decisions, not on some well planned system and it's not public. In F1 or Premier League all of these informations are public. F1 and Premier League shares back most of their revenue to the teams, because the make them the money. So it's not a alms or givts, it is a well deserved money for wich the teams work for. I hope you are right. |

That is not what he needed, I just hope it’s just for this weekend, as it would be a shame for the championship to be decided this way. At least Tarquini should do well for him

If you haven't been watching it, the video series on Monteiro's recovery in fascinating.
Things are/were far more difficult than I imagined. He has vision issues and you can see he now has a squint of sorts. Here's the first video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQt4k9_t6JE |

Found the elusive buggar!
Ningbo Int'l Circuit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbZ1...0&pbjreload=10 I rather hope they omit the T13/14 chicane; four slow corners in a row is a bit silly, and they don't gain an overtaking point out of it either. |

Whate a jerk move from the organizers/race direction
They should let only one more lap behind the SC to give half points. EDIT. Forget this, it seems the get half points. BTW the track doesn"t seems worst than in te race 1. |

It's not really a race though if they spend all race behind the SC, no matter what the regulations say. I remember when WEC only did a few laps under the SC in Fuji, so they changed the rules about that

Chilton needs to watch the footage before placing blame.

I'm not convinced that Tiago will be well enough for the race at Motegi. I really think they should get Shedden in there. Think Colciago will also be engaged with TCR?

Tiago missing again, confirmed. https://www.touringcartimes.com/2017...o-ruled-japan/
Colciago JAS TCR test driver but potentially also busy. Unless he's not doing the TCR Europe Trophy, is there an entry list? |
