I don't believe you can do it at any time. It's got to be approved by the ACO and because of a performance deficit.
Worlds smallest violin for Hugues. We all knew this was a possibility - in fact most of us predicted this would be the case. And we knew what the ACOs reaction would be, and that's exactly what happened. Whilst we should never be in this position, the ACO has at least done what they said they would do.
We all know the Oreca is the best chassis. Sometimes others get close, but none can match it consistently. The Dallara can do so in medium-high downforce, but it has a very small operating window to fit into. And if they did allow Oreca to update then it'd be pointless, as they'd all move forward and Oreca would still be ahead, and we'd have spent money for nothing.
