Hybrid deployment rule (when and how much) will change. Perhaps no surprise on that one.
Gow saying they are looking at other things, including possible top ten qualifying shootout at selected rounds.
The change to hybrid isn't a surprise really is it based on how little difference hybrid has made this year - can they increase the power of the hybrid using the existing units?

The return of the option tyre isn't a good thing as far as I'm concerned - it doesn't really add anything as you know cars running the unfavoured tyre will go backwards through the field and drivers will just be 'managing the tyre'.

As for the support package - Clios are an option but are they too similar to the MINIs? Not sure what else they could add that 'looks professional' - every other candidate is more club level I'd have thought. Certainly the BTCC package is looking less appealing to go and watch at the circuits.
