We had weight if car. Simple.
Now we have weight plus driver. More convoluted.
We need car weight and driver plus ballast/seat/defined position weight. Very convoluted.
A lot of these rules become convoluted due to the demands placed upon the sport. |
Yes Adam. That's why we have a plethora of rules and an ever increasing rule book.
some people believe that if you don't like something then you write a rule about it and rule books are full of badly written rules, created to deal with a particular issue that someone has a bee in their bonnet over.
A rule gets written and adopted but its often badly written or at odds with other aspects of basic competition common sense and gets upheld by people who really don't have a clue how to integrate the new rule with the rest of the rules, or use it in a legalistic way that partially or completely distorts the purpose for which it was intended, or is destructive to the way the basic principles of the way motorsport should be governed and administrated.
