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.

This would hardly happen, and anyway it would be the same problem if all the SEATs have a crash on the first lap of a race.

As usual you act like you know everything and we're the poor stupid little freaks. The problem is not that BMW are not winning, the problem is that we have a domination in terms of points and race wins. Are you going to give me a table stating that yes, SEAT have won 4 races, but BMW have had some fastest laps? Don't do it, it'd be useless. 4 SEATs in the first 5 places, 4 wins out of 4, 18 points ahead of BMW... Do I have to keep it going?
Truth is, the last BMW win goes back to Oschersleben, 31st August: it means that in 12 races no BMW has been able to win a race. SEAT have won 9 races out of those 12, so do you call it an equal championship?
Otherwise, we can still do it like F1, the best manufacturer with the highest budget comes in, builds the best car and wins it. But that is not touring cars...
