I'm sure I remember reading something written at the time that suggested a certain amount of rule-bending was tolerated in Europe, so long as no-one did anything too outrageous. I know they were DTM cars which had never been near an ETCC round, but didn't the AMG Mercs that went to Bathurst the previous year have trouble with the scrutineers- carbon-fibre in all kinds of places where it shouldn't have been, that kind of thing?

If you look at the number of protests and homologation issues that flew around in European Group A, it certainly suggests that most of the top teams were pushing their luck...
