Hello, Doc,
You are right - the Grand-Am rules demand double-hoop roll bars.
I wonder how misled was/is the Grand-Am organizing body by demanding double-hoops and then simply EXPECTING the cars to be safer this way. This is the sort of decision that I really believe was INTUITON-driven, without significant research to back it.
As I said above, Nascar - to what Grand-Am is associated - is another category that has behaved on a intuition-driven mode regarding safety, with rather disastrous results. Sadly the death of Dale Earnhardt is just another number in the statistics. Take a look on the unacceptably high number of Nascar drivers suffering from the effects of brain concussion and similar injuries.
About swerving: Doc, I'm with you (and Mariov and other guys - who is not?): the FIA policy towards deliberate swerving is a shame.
Regards,
Muzza
