just an FYI...the epaulets were put in the FIA 2000 standard as a requirement for open wheel racing. In theory they are used by safety workers to pull the driver out of the car when he/she is unable. They were not required on the 1986 FIA standard. It has nothing to do with protection of the driver only for evacuation.Now we are getting somewhere.
If the TPP is an acknowledged measure of performance (and it is), why the additional specs? Who really cares about epaulets?
