Planning to run low, are ya?
This feels like the ground work to force a relaxed application of the rules.
- Merc will continue throwing a bitchfit unless and until this happens.
- I wish it was the groundwork to get rid of sprint weekends
I find it odd that every car isn't checked after the race for things like this.
Every car is checked for weight and fuel, right? Why not check everyone for other easy to measure criteria?
- It takes a lot of time to do these tests, and the risk of being chosen to be tested is usually enough deterrence to prevent teams from breaking the rules. They definitely should increase the number of cars they check for plank wear now though.
  They also don't check the fuel of every car, only half of the cars.
  
  I know some of the tests are hard to perform, and not practical to do on every car. But I can't imagine how some tests, especially plank checks, aren't feasible to perform on every car.
ha right when Oscar was sparking like crazy the announcers were talking about just that.
Let the boys race! For fucks sake. Rules suck when they DQ racers over technicalities.
- Lol this isn't just a technicality. It's a major part of the sporting regulations.
  
  Well test every car then. DQ everyone who fails.
