FIA bans diesel engines from WTC

From 2013, diesel cars will no longer be accepted in the Championship.

New Technical Regulations for 2014 Super 2000 cars were agreed in principle by the WMSC to provide for more spectacular cars with bigger aerodynamic devices and greater performance through weight reduction and power increase, while maintaining similar costs. More technical freedom will be allowed in order to cancel the current system of waivers and balance of performance. However, a balance of technology between front and rear wheel drive cars (balance of technologies) will be maintained.

The Brazilian event in Curitiba has been removed from the 2013 calendar.
