Here is the TC:
R.E.W.A.R.D.S. System: Rewarding of Equalizing Weight Assigned to Reduce Driver Sensitivity, commonly referred to as “REWARDS Weight,” is a weight equalization system based on the addition and subtraction of ballast weight based on the finishing position of individual drivers in the previous race(s). The goal of the REWARDS System is to provide close on-track competition between a diverse variety of cars in the top third of the field. REWARDS System weight adjustments are in effect for the next race in which a driver competes in the same class. Weight adjustments (in pounds) are as follows:
Touring Car
1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th
+30 +20 +10 +/- 0 -10 -20 -30
I hope it helps. I'm to def, dumb and blind to understand how it would. DTM I'm not sure if I have access to but I'll get you Super GT.

EDIT:
And here it is.
Handicap Weight System (Special Adjustment of Performance)
Demotion of Performance:
Qualifying and fastest laps in races: In each category, a handicap weight of 10kg will be compulsorily allocated at the subsequent race to cars qualifying in the top 3 places, and setting top 3 fastest laps, in a given race.
Race: In each category, a handicap weight will be compulsorily allocated at the subsequent race to cars finishing in the top 3 places in the preceding race, according to the following scale:
Handicap Weight System
Race 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th or below
GT500 +50kg +30kg +20kg +10kg ±0kg –10kg –20kg
GT300 +30kg +20kg +10kg +5kg ±0kg –5kg –15kg
Qualifying 1st 2nd 3rd
Each Category +10kg +10kg +10kg
Fastest lap in Race 1st 2nd 3rd
Each Category +10kg +10kg +10kg
Maximum weight loaded:
According to the above handicap weight the maximum weight to be loaded on cars will be 120kg for GT500 and 100kg for GT300 cars. Any excessive handicap weight above this shall be exempt from loading, but shall be accumulated numerically, and reduction will not be applied to the actual weight on the car, but to this numerical accumulation. Handicap weights as mentioned above will not be accumulated if the model of the car is changed or if team and drivers are changed simultaneously.
Weight reduction amounts are as follows:
If a car with a weight handicap finishes 6th in a race, a weight reduction of 10kg for GT500 class machines and 5kg for GT300 class machines will be made for the next race. If a weight handicapped car finishes 7th or lower, or is not able to participate in the race, a weight reduction of 20kg for GT500 class machines and 15kg for GT300 class machines will be made for the next race.
Position of handicap weight:
The weight of the installation device used to load the weight will be included within the total handicap weight. Handicap weights must be made from lead plates. Plates up to 50kg must be attached to the passenger's seat attachment. Weights over the 50kg level can be attached to any location within the car without restriction. All cars with weight handicaps imposed must attach weight handicap sign stickers where designated.
Promotion of Performance:
In accordance to the results of the preceding race, cars may broaden the diameter of their air restrictors when entering the succeeding event, restricted to the criteria mentioned below. This measure however, shall not be applied to "a car specially approved by the GTA." Special adjustment of performance, equivalent to this measure, shall be applied instead. In addition, adjustment will not be made on cars which have been given a weight handicap.
Criteria:
A. Cars slower than the standard time determined by adding 1 second to the average best lap time of the top 6 cars of each category in the qualifying practice. However, in races adopting a Super Lap, the criteria will be based on the times from the first qualifying session: 1 point.
B. Cars slower than the standard time determined by adding 0.5 seconds to the average of the top 6 best lap times of the race: 1 point.
C. Cars ranked in 7th position or below in the Championship standings in each category at the end of each race: 1 point.
According to criteria A to C above, any car whose accumulated points totals 3 may change their air restrictor diameter without having to change the minimum weight of the car. In the subsequent event, the car is permitted to run with the air restrictor diameter of a car with a 50kg weight handicap increase in the same engine division.
However, this measure shall be limited to use of the air restrictor diameter at a minimum weight increase of 100kg in the same engine division.
In the case where a car which has already applied the Promotion of Performance measure and meets 2 of the criteria, it is allowed to continue to apply until the car meets criteria A. In the case where the car has gained 2 levels of the Promotion of Performance measure, the car must revert back to the condition for cars with the 50kg increase.
*In the case where a car, which is applied a handicap weight becomes the object of the Promotion of Performance measure, the measure is not applied. However, the handicap weights will be reduced by 10kg from its cumulative total weights up to 2 of the criteria.
*If car model, engine model or engine displacement volume of a car to which the measures in these provisions have already been applied are changed, they will be cancelled.
Hope it helps!
EDIT 2: Shig, I really like the idea. I'd support it 100%.
For us and for making your promise become reality I say it is worth it's price.
