Is it with implementation (i.e. official rules interp. by the region), or simply the fact that many illegal cars aren't protested? I'm acquainted with the owner/builder of the Porsche you were referring to (he was at the driver's schools with my brother), and obviously the lexan windows aren't legal. I really doubt he realizes it though. From talking too him, he isn't well versed in the IT ruleset, and I wouldn't be completely shocked if he had never opened a GCR. I think he built his car, and then looked for which class he thought it fit in. Of course that doesn't exonerate him, but the real impetus is on his competitors to protest him if he's not playing by the rules.
