Clearly the current levels are not sufficient - as borne out by the R2 winner on at least six occasions this year.
Agreed.
A number of drivers, Sutton included, have said that 45kg isn't enough to make a difference to performance in a good car.

The ballast is the one rules change announced today which I actually agree with.

The qualifying change is just confusing and pointless unless they do it everywhere.
The option tyre is clearly just a marketing gimmick for Goodyear
And the reverse garages can't happen at Thruxton and Knockhill because they don't use garages, or at Brands Hatch, Croft and Snetterton because there is not enough space.
