Despite the fact that my M Coupe has the same kind of latch, and has a
mirror about 50% bigger than yours and is an absolute accident waiting
to happen when driving on the street (can you say "blind spot?"), I very
strongly believe that this is illegal when racing. It's would be a
*huge* competitive advantage to remove the mirror in these cars, since
it has such a major impact on visibility.
While it is clearly removeable and replaceable, the owner's manual makes
no mention of doing such a thing.
Was there a recent clarification about this?
