When Frank Biehle won the UK Touring Car Championship in an A4 quattro, the penalty weight
(our term for the reward weight) was exactly equal to the combined weight of his wife and two
small children.  He could have won with his family in the car.

ovloV decided to race an estate (wagon) one year.  They had an inflatable dog standing in the
back.
