Stop asking the same question, its toy car racing, we all do it for enjoyment (racers, BRCA officials etc). Nobody wants to give a penalty, nobody wants to receive a penalty so why would they when a bit of sense and discretion can be used.... its not like charging a Lipo to 10v or cutting a corner which does give an advantage.

I can see what they are doing brings the rules in line with EFRA, not necessarily right rule, but right to be in-line (hence my comment about us having to tape up shells at previous Euro's).

So its fair for this to be used to 'highlight' to drivers, perhaps penalties will start for repeat offenders, who knows - but I can see its fair what they are doing.

I thought I read that the advise regarding the (then future...) new rules was given last year to get people "into line" for this years nationals. Therefore there will be very little give in the rules for this year.
I may have mis-read though.

Can someone confirm, if my shell holes turn out to be too big, is it legal to just tape them up?

"22.2 Open roll cage style cars will be permitted to compete if the entrant can supply proof that the car is
closely based on a full size example."

All you need to do is fabricate a roll cage and you can totally ignore all the rules on ventilation.
