Even if you want to argue what “separate sections” are, Penske not appealing signals to me they knew what the spirit of the rule was intended to do: ban the specific sort of glove they used. Seems much more like trying to get away with something than exploiting a loophole.

Somewhere in the great beyond, Smokey Yunick is smiling at the attempt.

Not altering safety equipment is pretty much universal for every job in existence. So it’s not like it was difficult to say this was illegal.

Here, have the SFI spec: https://www.sfifoundation.com/wp-content/pdfs/specs/Spec_3.3.pdf

It’s the car they* didnt want you** to have.

Finally, an electric car for us assholes!

Are they trying to win over the proudly poorly educated group that will not change their views in the face over overwhelming science and research studies?

A different site is reporting that the transfer case will be switchable to RWD mode for all the fun.

the “midfield battle”.. like we know who is going to win, but I’m interested in the bunch of cars from 4-8th? really this is what is interesting in F1

BMW and their “change for the sake of change” monster grilles:

That was my thought as I read this. This article is the first time I’ve heard that Wagoneer was a sub brand. 

I had no idea these weren’t just Jeeps. <shrug>

Seems clear the Jeep brand just got over their skis on this initiative.

Maybe I just don’t have premium taste, but I think the exterior of those is ugly. I saw one the other day that was black with thick chrome trim around all of the windows including the back glass and it was hideous! 

If only he’d had his hand surgically altered to add webbing, he’d have been in the clear.

Ouch. Let's pretend there was something seriously wrong with that car. Like it was stolen, for example. Yea, you saved yourself a huge headache. See?

However NASCAR changed the rules to basically say “if we don’t expressly permit it, it is illegal”, which shuts that down rather effectively.

When you are racing for 500 miles, fractional savings start to add up.

I differ with you. I wouldn’t be surprised if Penske tested this unauthorized mod in the wind tunnel before his cars hit the season’s first downforce course.

If you ain’t cheatin’, you ain’t tryin’!
