a) I suggest we clearly define what is an “irregularity”.
b) We should also consider them in regards to importance for (i) Technical fairness [i.e. does it clearly provide a technical advantage] (ii) authenticity of appearance or conformance to 1×1.
c) I suggest we vote on the rules – at least as a ‘feedback’ to the series manager.
Basically, if I am going to be dinged for cosmetics or a minor technical variance – I need to know in advance b/c otherwise I am f’ed. Speaking of such, if someone’s car is clearly several hundredths ahead of others (say, as tested by a netural 3rd party) it should be looked at – not necessarily DQ’ed. But if the car is hundredths slower – wtf is the impact of a variance, esp., if it may actually be a negative-advantage.
