Honda tells some dealers to upgrade, or else... {Autoblog}
May 5th 2008 5:49PM this happened in the UK a couple ofyears ago. Quite a few dealers who had been with SEAT since the beginning lost the franchise and many ended up closing down. Many of the good true 'local' dealers were lost.
I've also often wondered why US Honda dealers have blue white branding. Whats that about - why dont they have red and white like Honda, the world over.

May 5th 2008 12:28PM as stated, rewards weight is nothing new. happens in BTCC and WTCC as well, but not to the same degree.
Not sure how common it is in Super GT, but the old series (JGTC) gave weight penalties to the all conquering 'Lark' McLaren F1 GTR's in the 90s. McLaren responded with big 'weight stickers' :)

May 2nd 2008 11:48AM good luck, getting Bernie to let them use 'F1'
