Cheating Ford using 0.5mm thinner glass, buoy that sure make a difference in the weight, just like forgrtting to put you mudflaps on

Im sure Petter will take any luck he can get at the minute!

Onwards and upwards from here I hope

Snazy

Phew about time he had some luck

GazTheHat

Rules are rules, but it seems a bit stoopid.

Best placing for Petter all year no doubt, and by default.

Go Petter

- thats funny that but rules are rules I suppose

DCR59

It's cheating, pure and simple. They should have been disqualified.

Now expect the usual "there was no performance gain, blah, blah, blah"

RUDDY

how much weight would that actually save?

GazTheHat

Could've been a manufacturer error. I mean, 0.5mm of glass. There's a difference between that and what Toyota tried to pull.

Brun

What did they try?

Col Stone

They made an adjustable air restrictor !

Alan MaC

Still a new car. Let's see how they do at the next Meeting.

I hope that the new Scoob that has been posted on here doesn't happen.

Face like a well skelped bottie.

Regards.

Don't get me wrong rules are rules.

But 0.5mm of glass, they car rip a spoiler off on the first corner, or go for a dump before it starts and lose more weight! lol

Loose a spoiler and you loose downforce which means less grip so no advantage. I see what your saying, but things like this cant be helped, the glass is something that has to meet regs.
Any advantage is just that, and when cars are winning or loosing by tenths of a second it all makes a difference.
If Subaru did it i would expect them to get the same punishment.

GazTheHat

I know what you're saying, but that sentence above stopped happening when the they changed the driver rules and lost the big names.

I remember the top6-10 used to be seperated by seconds, if that. Now we're talking minutes. Who ever said that the new rules would make it more exciting. Yeah right!

I have to agree with you on that one, its not the close called thing it used to be, but the rules are there just in case.

Haven't even seen a second on the WR Championship this year.

Bloody ITV, they just don't want to know about it anymore.

See they've started showing the BTCC after Midnight now too.

Shame really, as they do such a good job with the F1.

GazTheHat

P!sses me off too. Don't even know what number ITV4 is.

I used to check the guide on sundays and managed to catch the WRC is i'd forgotten. Now i just read the BBC www pages days later.

Saw Live coverage on Sunday on ITV 4. Seat won the first two rounds (Plato). But the new Civic R's were still being run in. One only turned a wheel on Friday for the first time. The Vectras look like they may get some results as well.

BMW put up a good show too
