Ballast[edit]

Due to the results obtained in the previous round, Attila Tassi received +30 kg, Norbert Michelisz +20 kg and Pepe Oriola +10 kg. Nevertheless, Michelisz didn't take part at this event, so he didn't take the ballast.^[1]

The Balance of Performance was also adjusted for this event, meaning the Alfa Romeo Giulietta TCRs, Audi RS3 LMS TCRs, Kia Cee'd TCRs, Subaru WRX STi TCRs, Peugeot 308 Racing Cup TCRs, Volkswagen Golf GTI TCRs and SEAT León TCRs was all given a -20 kg weight break, while the Honda Civic Type-R TCRs, Opel Astra TCRs and SEAT León TCR DSG's was given a -10 kg weight break. With the DSG equipped Audi RS3 LMS TCRs and SEAT León TCRs had their ride height reduced to 60mm.^[2]
