It's funny in a way - until something like this happens, the 'rule makers' (who obviously know what is best for everyone else) won't bend because 'it isn't in the spirit of the rules' or 'but they never raced like that'.
Unfortunately in todays litigious (sp?) society these same rule makers WILL ultimately be held responsible for anything that goes wrong.
As an example - look at the coroner's outcome from Gregg Hansfords death - he ruled that in all probability one of the causes of his accident was that his tyres were not up to temperature. So - what happens - from that point onwards, Super Tourers (not all front wheel drive cars mind you) were given TWO warm up laps.
But, CAMS in their wisdom, NEVER wrote this into any rules - why not?
