Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but I hear some desire for rules creep intended to aid certain cars....

Remember all, when we decided to race our Borgwards, we did so knowing that they might have certain warts to go along with their strengths.

Luckily for this car, (and most, actually) his "issue" can be solved with a fuel cell, properly baffled, and the proper (heavy) reinforced structure it's mounted in.
