Since you quoted me, and posted a response, I will respond in kind.
A 35MM SIR???? And you say the car will "non competitive" as a result?
Prove it. Show me the math that shows that a 35MM SIR (or a 33, or a 34) will take enough power away that will "screw" the BMW drivers. HOW did you draw your conclusions?? Let's see the math, show us whatever you have. Otherwise the statement is pure and complete straw grabbing.
(Also, while you're at it, if you are making the same case for weight, lets see how you based your "screwed" conclusion on that as well. )

Why? That the SIR size can be simply calculated w/o real world testing is an ASSumption that has been debunked. You know it, Andy knows it, CRB knows it, and as soon as real results are released (with or without the CRB's blessing) everyone else will know it too. I simply refuse to follow you down the road of attempting to engineer on paper without testing.

I will say that I have actually grown respect for certain BMW racers here on the board over this, but others have lost my admiration. But...I am not stupid, and I know the difference between them.

If your admiration meant anything to me, I might build and ITS car.
