Despite Mike Hurst's bombastic Every other santction organisation in the world...." statement, it seems that NO other organisation is reading the words in Appendix whatever as requireing some elaborate, and largely POINTLESS bulkhead etc...
So while soime are baffled and disappointed at the business as usual nature of rules being merely announced, and people are yapping about the latest WRC spec under the car fuel cells (part of the absurd lower the cg to the floor FAD in the last couple of years NOTHING AT ATLL TO DO WITH SAFETY and the US once again doing this in some areas at some elevated level,
WE STILL DON'T REQUIRE WHAT MOST OF THE REST OF THE CIVILISED RALLY WORLD REQUIRED OF THE LOWEST CLUB CAR FIFTEEN YEARS AGO:
PLUMBED IN ON-BOARD FIRE SUPRESSION SYSTEMS.
IF there were a real concern it would seem to some that one might being with easy to implement, proven good methods, rather than these new unproven, unclear, and judging by the lack of rally cars exploding, unneeded rules.
But why clutter the issue with reality, precedent, actual field experience, or heaven forbid
Rational thought????
