Reiter had approval to homologate the Gallardo, the do not have approval to do the Hurracan.

The rules changed in 2012/13? to what we now have. You have to have a letter from the manufacturer authorising you to homologate their car. The FIA will side with the manufacturer every time.

I know of some companies that have been approached, and have refused.
Actually, what was the reason for changing that rule?
