FIA WTCC BUREAU LIMIT

BUREAU LIMIT TDI ENGINE SPEED

The Touring Car Bureau have issued a decision to limit the engine speed of the SEAT León TDI cars

The Touring Car Bureau have issued a decision to limit the engine speed of the SEAT León TDI cars. From the next event in Valencia and until further notice, the engine speed of the turbo-diesel SEAT cars will be limited to 4100 revs per minute.

At the same time the Bureau confirmed the decision issued before the previous meeting in Puebla to limit the supercharged air pressure, the fuel rail pressure and the fuel/air ratio to the average maximum values measured measured with the FIA homologated data logger during the Curitiba event. This supercharged air pressure limit will be corrected by the atmospheric pressure ratio between Curitiba and Valencia.

OTHER BUREAU'S DECISIONS

The Bureau have issued two other decisions, which are also valid from the next event in Valencia and until further notice:

- reduction of the homologated minimum weight of the BMW 320si car driven by Alessandro Zanardi by 15 kg;

- the possibility to adjust the weight of the N.technology Honda Accord Euro R car at any moment during the events.
