My usual tounge in cheek response Mike, to some of the money making schemes dreamed up over the years and not only in motor sport, car parking being a real gem of an idea, one car I was involved with for some time never had the I D sticker fitted and never once was it questioned, from Silverstone through the rest of Europe. Of course cars are developed during their life, usually a couple of years at most, then the 'barn' historic racing has given an immense number a new lease of life, the so called 'Martini' cars two bites of the cherry, the 70's the 80's thundersports etc, now revived again by the HSCC series, cars as back in the 70's most with the updates that took place in the 80's still fitted, in particular reference to brakes, engines and suspension, but HTP's were issued with these mods in place, now it would appear, the 80's mods removed, new papers issued, with the resulting expense at a time when the folding is still a little scarce. Race series organisers should lay down the rules, as most do already, and most race on mainland Europe and organise the events, the scrutes check for infringment of the various rules, then confine HTP's, FIA etc to be re-filed, inder B, for BIN.
