Ok, now take the scenario where my competitor and I have identical shocks
which cannot be adjusted at the event unless an access port is cut. He does
it, I don't. We both have major oversteer after first runs, running
equivalent times. He adjusts his rear shocks. I can't.
On second and third runs his times are .2 faster than mine. I protest.
Do you still see that as illegal but immaterial? It's by no means a
far-fetched scenario...
