Good for Guerrieri, he deserve a good car. He was doing well at Indylights beside Newgarden but got out of money. I think he is a better driver than Gilorami.

Honda excluded from China results due to non-compliant fuel injectors

It's funny how they always catch Honda, and never Citroen and Volvo.

Well, Volvo was excluded several times last year:

https://www.autosport.com/wtcc/news/...rom-qualifying

Still a disappointing decision. This will make it even easier for Honda to leave the series at the end of the year.

It seems that Honda has a very bad luck in the WTCC. Ok they made some mistake with the homologation process, but the accident of Monteiro was very unlucky for their championship campaign.

What will happen with the additional weight? They recalculate it?

This isn't bad luck, just another example of JAS & Honda lacking the edge they need for a championship.

Well it seems Monteiro didn't really miss much. It's a controversy the series could do without ATM

Why is this fair? They have shown their speed and everybody knows it, but they ****ed up by their own.

I know, but both times they only punish Bjork.
But both here and last year they also DSQ Zengo cars, and they even run 2 years old car with old engine...

If the car wasn't legal that means their speed wasn't legal too.

A illegal fuel injector gives an Advantage from 9685425 seconds per lap... BULLSHIT. They ****ed up, they must life with the ****, they have done.

Congrats to Norbi, he was the best driver this weekend. Congrats to Guerrieri too, he clearlya top driver.

I hope Volvo will play fair in the next 2 rounds, but I'm not sure about it. This weekent all the 3 Volvos drive into a factory Honda - and the succesfully spin out their main championship rival.

We saw some dirty team work in the touring car sport earlier, I don't want to see that again in the next 2 rounds.

I doubt it very much Volvo deliberately played naughtily and the two clear incidents received penalties.

Huff drives slowly in Japan, helps lower the Citroen weight for Macau, where he will take pole and dominate race 2, provided no race 1 crash going for two victories.

Seemingly this is the step the WTCC will be taking if this source is trustable at all:

Negotiations ongoing between the FIA and WSC over use of TCR regulations and the merging of the two series:

https://www.touringcars.net/2017/11/...cr-regulations

It sounds like the FIA are OK in principle.
