Andreas Bellu, the head of the TCR Technical Department explained:
“In the second half of last season we had achieved a very good
balance in performance, therefore we decided to start from that. Now
we will use all the data collected in the three stages of the BoP
process like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.”
“I was really proud to be appointed as the official BoP tester again,”
Lloyd said. “It seems like I did a good job last year. I raced in different
TCR series and drove different models, but being behind the scenes
and looking at what’s involved in the BoP process is really interesting.
There were less cars this year, but still a lot of track time and lots to
do. It’s a difficult job, because there are many variables between the
cars, so we have to figure out how to get the best feedback possible
from each of them in the small time we have.”
The initial BoP list will be issued in early March and must be adopted
by all the series and championships regulated by the TCR Technical
Regulations. According to on-track-performance, the BoP will be
adjusted during the season by the common Compensation Weight
System and the Sporting Regulations of each championship.
