Thats why a results based formula is better. Because they are not going to throw away race results are they?

If the drivers are holding back in the SEATs, then they're playing the rules aren't they, which is what you've got to do in any sport.
If you use a results based formula, lets say the SEAT's are all leading by miles, lapping some back-markers and one of the back-markers takes a SEAT out, and the rest of the SEAT's all pile into one another because they were in their long train formation, and it means non of them can start the second race. For the next meeting, the SEAT's would be -60Kg and so would run away with it, while the BMW's and Chevy's are fully loaded. The current system takes the racing out of the ballast system and looks purely at pace.
