Well it is racing......

In horse racing if a horse is becoming to fast it has weight added to slow it down.

This is called HANDICAPPING.

In V8supercars they cannot add weight to the cars so they have to handicap drivers who are becoming to fast in another way.............

I don't think James going to HRT is a way of Handicapping him haha.. It is a massive shame we've lost another Champion. TAKE NOTICE FORD - PUT SOME EFFORT IN, you're losing your best reps!
