Despite repeated attempts the story of the homologation of the RX-7 still makes no sense.

Moffat once again mentions that he had to lobby CAMS to allow the RX-7 to compete, ignoring the fact that the RX-7 was already been competing in Group C with the likes of Peter McLeod and Barry Jones.

He writes that CAMS considered the car a sportscar but proved to them the interior dimensions where large enough to be homologated under the rules.

But in fact Moffat wanted to run the peripheral port engine instead of the bridge port. Interior dimensions had nothing to do with it.

Anyone else have more information on this?
