Just as with PROCAR, the parity police have to manage the driver input into the process as well.

From memory the last parity rules required a number of cars of the same model to be measured before a parity change would be implemented. With just 3 in the mix in 2007, if one of the three does not have a good weekend, which happened on occassion for these 3 in 2006, then the aggregate results will be too skewed to impress a change, or indeed if they slim down the sample size, will get just as slanted a result.

It isnt an easy fix once the season starts, but as WebberForWDC suggests, the TEGA titans should be making sure the ducks are all in a row.

I mean can you imagine the uproar if say HRT were to operate the #22 car as a full house VZ, without an aero reduction... with 4 cars then in the mix, there will still be some disparity between the performances... while the quickest car in the field specification wise would in theory be that #22 VZ
