RH> Not fair in my opinion, was racing :) Yes I do agree I think there trying to discourage racing a little. But as it's very close in the 5.0l cars sometimes it's easier to nudge then pass:) And maybe this is why they are going this way. Maybe the officials should look at the British 2L Touring Car Championship which is like this all the time.
