Today, I finally had the chance to check the cars.
Even with the announcements, one team made a pretty big booboo, I would say:

-AeroStar Racing: 2.5, 9.1, 10.3 11.3, 12.1
-JJR Racing: 12.1, 13.4
-Pure Power Racing: 2.5
-Rusted GP: 9.1

I would say, a pretty clear penalty for the purple car!
Hi Andre,

Does that mean my car from the last race was also closely inspected under the new, stricter criteria regarding the floor geometry?

Sorry for asking again, but this is very important for me and the preparation for the last race.

You are asking about something that has always been a somewhat ignored grey zone of the rules. As you did not submit a car, your old one gets entered into this race. Now the question is, how do previous violations count?

This is a good and still open question.

But to be a bit more clear about your specific car. I checked your entry of race 3 now. And the floor is OK. However, this does not mean it will be clear the next time you enter it and I check it. I can always make mistakes and then find them later.
So if anyone passes scrutineering checks in one race it does not guarantee the car is 100% legal.



And as the floor rules were such a hot discussed topic. I did check many old cars. Most of them were OK. In fact, I only found one where I am a bit embarrassed to have missed something. So either I took a bad sample, or the issue was luckily not as bad as I feared.

I am Sorry, firstly. For so many errors, I definitely deserve a penalty.

It would be very helpful if you pointed out the infringement specifically for each rule I have broken.

Rule 2.5:- I have exactly the same file names as mentioned in rule 2.1 and a text file as mentioned in rule 2.4, no additional files. So what caused the infringement ?

Rule 9.1:- As per my observation, the body was in legality volumes. And I need to work on my observation. So please let me know where the bodywork is outside of the legal volume.

Rule 10.3:- I admit that I was trying to take advantage of grey zone here. But it's pretty clear to me that mainplane and the flaps must fully obscure the FW profile and that doesn't include the Endplate which I was trying to cover up. Please rectify me here if I am wrong.

Rule 11.3:- I have no clue what could have caused the infringement here. Please let me know

Rule 12.1:- Again, no clue what could have went wrong here

Andre Sir and the entire MVRC team, I sincerely apologise for having so many issues. I would like to know more specific details so I can rectify my car for the next round. Thank you for NOT kicking me out of the competition. Thank You for your patience.
