Vasselon said*the pre-event EoT changescame in an open dialogue with the governing bodies.*“We discussed and came to something, which in our and the ACO and the FIA’s opinion, makes sense,” he said. “It respects some principles and brings the field together.
“What was much more difficult before was the lack of data. Our concern was that the data was not good enough at the time and there was a risk of error. We had to protect ourselves. Now we have much more accurate data so it’s an easier job of what we want to achieve.”
Is this surprising to anyone else? I thought the rules makers made choices on their own to manage the competition? |
This is not surprising, in fact it's been reported a long time ago that Toyota was one of the proponents of a new EoT for the privateers.
