# 2016 TCR International Series Imola round

The 2016 TCR International Series Imola round will be the fourth round of the 2016 TCR International Series season. It took place on 22 May at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari.
Stefano Comini won the first race, starting from fourth position, driving a Volkswagen Golf GTI TCR, and Mikhail Grachev gained the second one, driving a Honda Civic TCR.

## Ballast

Due to the results obtained in the previous round, Aku Pellinen received +30 kg, Pepe Oriola +20 kg and Jean-Karl Vernay +10 kg. Nevertheless, Pellinen didn't take part at this event, so he would have taken the ballast at the first round he would have participated.
