Rules and regs and misinterpretations are the bane of racing..
It's the same in other series for example Tom Chiltons exclusion from the 2nd Race at Brands in the BTCC for ride height when the scutineering was actually done BEFORE the race
and now the change in rules for smaller turbo restrictors for the LPG fords half way through a season
Dakar has now restricted all motorcycles to 450cc or less..
When will the power mad rule makers stop??
