That's a final straw for me if I was Rebellion, if a French team had done it they wouldn't have batted an eye. They have ignored all kinds of in race modifications in the past and did not like the fact that Rebellion showed everyone how asinine the rules over the bodywork were. If that's a penalty worthy of DQ, I'd leave for IMSA before the next race and tell the ACO to pound sand. They let cars run without cheese wedges, lights, leader lights (when they were required) and without a MIRROR, but no a hole in the bodywork is a no-no. That's spitting in the face of a team that has invested millions in to the sport building cars and running when no one else wanted to play. And if Oreca doesn't fix that moronic take the wing off to take off the engine cover, some one else will and demonstrate repairability and responsive design to on track needs. And yes, they could with the one joker allowed which as I read did not need unanimous vote, the Ligier request was to not use their joker but instead get a change to allowed bodywork.
