MissClarrpz should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
It also confirms a maximum of 3 wildcards per round with the Nordschleife races not having that limit in place.

Nice to see Rast.

Now Honda must bring Montoya and Ricky Taylor!

Wildcards are not for champions. Wildcars are to fill the grid. But Audi had put to bar too high for the others.

Would love to see Thomas Jäger in Opel Astra at Nurburgring. He’s doing well in VLN this year and did well in TCR Intl. last year (in Austria).

regarding this BOP testing how exactly is this done ?

for example wouldn't a manufacturer have all the interest to put a deliberate BAD setup on it so the car does run slower during the testing and so get less penalties (AKA good old fashion sand bagging ) ? and for actual racing the good setups back on it

I'm curious which team it was and how would Lopez manage in such a close championship without a huge factory team backing.

Hope better than he has been in Formula E. Emotions, in my experience, aren't covered by single words.
We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.

The thing is he was almost too good for the WTCC, such was his domination. I wonder how he would get on with TCR cars though

Because Lopez was once interested to join WTCR before he got a FE drive

Cause once he got an offer, it doesn't mean he will show up in Argentina to race his old rivals.

I can't stand complaint for those drivers who ask for BOP. honestly i dont agree at all with Bop! If a manufacuter works better and develop better the car why its effort should be useless due to BOP? why audi, vw, seat and peugeout doesn't work hard and organise more test in order to increase performance of their car?

I think it would be much more fair to give a kg handicap to the top 3 in each race (20-10-5) that they will carry in the following round.

Championships without BoP die quickly because costs explode. History has proven that many times, you need some kind of control.

if a driver win 2 race in a weekend hr will carry 40kg the next one which means that he will probably uncompetitive and other driver will be able to win.

to keep under control costs you can always organize some days during the year for tests. I dont believe Hyundai and Honda support is much more bigger than Audi vw and seat.
