K, you offered they need a solution and they have had a problem? Did other cars have a problem that needed an opening to get it running??I don't remember one. And was the Oreca last season a Gibson engine? So not really comparable to the Gibson '17 problems.

It was something that was celebrated in the past and was mentioned positively more than a few times by people who would know the rules without a single mention of it contravening any rules. It's a BS rule and DEFINITELY outside their beloved spirit of racing rules that used to be sacred to the ACO. I better see every team using bear bond tape DQ'd, that's not part of the homolgated bodywork and outside the rules.
