So the engines were clearly modified, the paperwork was lacking, they got off on that, Ginetta took exception?

It reads as though rather a lot of procedural requirements weren't observed before decisions were taken - it seems to me that it was virtually inevitable that the appeals were allowed. Sounds like Ginetta are taking their ball home despite the referee's decision to disallow the goal......

This whole thing is getting stranger and stranger. I can't believe that a championship that is part of the BTCC package has apparently completely failed to keep proper records of engine seals. Apart from anything else, if seals are required under the championship regs then the checking and recording of them should be part of pre-race scrutineering. You'd think the team would have record of seal numbers even if Ginetta don't.

And I know it's innocent until proven guilty and all that, but for a team at JHR's level to claim that they don't have the knowledge and/or tooling to machine a cylinder head is definitely b******s. You can port and polish a cylinder head in your garage with a B&Q dremel.

Has there been any more news on this matter?
