After the qualifying it becomes blatantly obvious that Hyundais BOP is completely whack. Thank god they have 4 top drivers and two rivalling teams and no alibi backmarkers. Having all 4 drivers dominating Marrakech is better then 2 upfront with two weaker drivers outside the top ten to "prove" how equal all cars are. They will not go unchanged into the next round. Otherwise the FIA will make a mockery of this series right at the start.
Honda, VW, Seat and Audi seem to be close enough right now.
And, please, could we please start racing at proper circuits...? This years calendar is the worst part of the championship.
Marrakech, Vila Real, Nordschleife, Macao and maybe Wuhan are NOT optimal tracks for touringcar racing. That makes 5 out of 10 (!) venues. Overtaking at Zandvoort is also very hard. I mean Macao is a must venue, but we could also race in Portimao, Nürburgring GP and virtually every other f*ing parking lot in Marokko and have a more appropiate calendar.
