The FIA World Motor Sport Council has also approved a number of changes proposed by the Touring Car Commision.
The main changes concern qualifying session and starting grid systems.
This will become effective in the 2012 season of the World Touring Car Championship.
• Qualifying points - In order to reward the fastest drivers in qualifying, points will be awarded to the top-five classified in Q2: 5 points to the 1st, 4 to the 2nd, 3, 2, 1.
• Grid for race 2 - The starting grid for Race 2 will be determined by the results of Q2, with the ten fastest drivers in reverse order.
• 12 drivers to Q2 - To prevent drivers from trying to achieve a good starting position on the grid for the second race by qualifying 10th or 9th, twelve drivers will be admitted to Q2 but only the ten fastest will be reversed.
