I appreciate all the comments about cheats slowing down the process and that they should be thrown out. The cheats must not be allowed to start and that must be sorted out before they enter the race. However the culprit in the last FIA round in Zandvoort is a Mini racer with at least 10 years, to my knowledge, of competing in FIA rounds - why is his car suddenly running a track dimension that is too wide???
The FIA must be responsible for providing us, the competitor, with the tools and systems for us to enjoy our motorsport not only as safely as possible which they do achieve but with the least amount of beaurocracy which they do not achieve.
I am fairly sure that asking the FIA to legislate on whether a car is legal or not will either result in a very large bill for travelling expenses or a terse "follow the rules as laid out in Appendix K". As to going to an appeal, my budget stretches to a few races a year. When I have to employ a Lawyer, the fun for me goes out of the window.
