They could have said: "Hey, guys, you´ve messed this up with the scrutineer/homolgationdepartment at FIA and on Monday morning you have to fix this immediately so papers are in order next rally in Poland. Or else we have to fine you at least 5000 Euros."

To me it had looked more justice than this 50k fine for almost nothing.

Imagine how much surprise the scrutineers and stewards would have if this were pressed further..

"That window didn't fit----50,000 please.

Wait, we can't seem to fit this intercooler---under this hood..(ching ching) 70,000 and this gearbox seems to have some different gears 10,000; 10,000; 10,000---and it has a LSD inside that doesn't fit.. 200,000 ching---
and this control arm is about twice as long and made of tube---the Original is a steel stamping.....133,000 thank you, and it what do you call this suspension? 1 million Euros please, it is not in conformity to the original.."


Please remit ALL YOUR MONIES!! REACH FOR THE SKY STUNGATZ! Dis is a stick up!"



or maybe something like this (substituting "rally team" for "Army")

Good one John!
However rules are rules regarding gearboxes, engines weights overal etz. That´s fine to me.

But rear windows? Me o mine, that´s just too much fining 50k . Who made that rule up?

Hint:
FIA heads can make a fortune out of fluids weight change if they charge €10 000 per gram difference.

It's the car makers themselves who wanted this extreme system of homologations so that they secure selling more spare parts to privateers. No heardache from my side.

Ok. But fines 50k for 36g? 1390 Euros/gram.

Biggest problem with the windows wasnt the weight,but different kind of attachment of windows to the bodyshell

Per, I have written that at least five times already. They were not penalized for the weight! Please read the documents again. The shape of the windows was wrong (the part which is not visible and by which the window is attached to the door).
