Yes, but.... Will a Louts twincam be more compromised than a BMW Tisa? Will a Mini be more compromised than an Alfa by the rev limit?

Does a car that starts the year with last year's engine still have 2 engines in hand or does what planned life is left in last year's engine count as one engine for this year?

This is copied from CER regs, but doesn't answer all the questions posted above..... "Engines are limited to two for the season. A sealing and identification of each engine will be made at the beginning and throughout the season. Checks will be made to make sure the rule is enforced. Any competitor failing to stay within the rule will see 40 points taken off the season classification as a penalty. Teams shall drill screws and nuts which removal is necessary during an engine rebuilt (see picture). Car should be presented with the lead seal fitted during the first participation of the season or the first race after the engine rebuilt or replacement."
