It means racing has moved from "competing on the track" to "competing in the courtroom".
There has been an increasing move at all levels of competitive motorsport (by that I mean serious racing-for titles-not club or historic meetings, etc)
to be contested over rule infractions.
In turn the rule makers have become increasingly active trying to micro manage the sport by regulation, with an ever increasing and introspective mass of minute regulations to govern every little possible infraction or incident.
This results in massive publications of rules that few people can possibly assimilate and consequently trip people up over and over.
Appeal courts and inquiries will rule the day but they will be the death of the 'sport' in motorsport...
This is happening at all levels from karting to F1...so you had better get used to it.
