Success Ballast edit

Due to the results obtained in the previous round and in the Sepang round of the TCR Asia Series, Pepe Oriola and Philippe Descombes received +30 kg, Stefano Comini and Eric Kwong +20 kg and Jordi Gené and Michael Choi +10 kg.[1] Nevertheless, Descombes and Kwong didn't take part at this event, so they will take the ballast at the first round they will participate.
