From the LMP1/2 regulations:
Quote:
ART. 19 – “HYBRID” CAR
Cars built before 01/01/2004 in compliance with the 2003 ACO technical regulations for “LM”P and “LM”GTP cars, may be modified in order to comply completely with the present regulations.
The modifications do not concern article 14.1.5 (cockpit opening and volume), 15.4 (headrest and head protection), 16.1 (rollover structures) and 16.2 (survival cell and frontal protection) of the present regulations.
Modifications to the bodywork must :
- Permit to integrate the secondary rollover structure (article 16.1.2. above) ;
- be exclusively designed and made by the manufacturer of the car, who must register with the ACO a detailed technical dossier describing the whole of these modifications.
These “Hybrid” cars will be allowed until 31/12/2006

I see where your confusion lies, Tim - how can they exempt and require at the same time the new rollover protection?
