Some have put on weight

This weekends BTCC Meeting will be the first with certain drivers carrying "success ballast" under the new 2000 rules.

Worst off will be Ford with all three of their drivers carrying weight. Muller and Plato will also have the priviledge!

So will we see a very different race from the first two rounds?

It could be interesting becuase if the teams are nifty with their extra weight and put it in the right places on the car it could actually help them round Donington where you need downforce, but maybe the Hondas will fly ahead as they'll be lighter.. It's a tricky one.

I would guess that it may play into Matt Neal's hands if he keeps his head.

But really, a bit of lead never really seems to do the job does it...just look at the A4s...they should have gotten to tow a caravan or something :)

Now that would be fun to see wouldn't it? Muller into a nice challenging bend with a caravan in tow!

Ooh, I don't like caravans, but we've got a horse trailer and that's a blast when there isn't a horse in it! We've been considering painting it Jordan F1 colours, but maybe we should lend it to Muller first..? :D
