For every point you score in the series, you will put on a kilo – so that will be the championship side of it and be very simple. There will be no coming off of that weight and it is nice and easy to understand. In addition, there would be a race weight penalty, so whoever wins at brands Hatch would get 30 kilos of penalty that would only count for the next race and then it would be off again. It would be very easy then for people to work out and it would probably be the top six people who would be affected in each race. You would wipe the slate clean, it would be easy to remember and from the simulations we have done it works very well as what we want to do is build up to the end of the year where the top guys are on the same weight and it is down to who is the best driver in the best car on the day.
But the beauty of the system is it closes the field up as it helps the slower people to get closer which is what we want to make the races good.

Are you hoping the close nature of the racing this year will continue under the revised rules?
JA:
From the calculations we have done, there is little difference, I sat with the charts and applied the new system to this years results and there were a few kilos difference here and there but fundamentally we had the same results – it would just be a hell of a lot easier for people to understand!

Going back to the calendar, is there any idea when it will be finally confirmed?
JA:
It does have to go to the World Motor Sport Council next month and Marcello [Lotti] is quite close to getting it done. The dossier for the World Council has to be finalised in the next ten days for the October meeting so I think around then.
