It's good thing for spectators but it's definitely wrong thing from sporting point of view. You can never make competition better by abandoning equal rules for everybody and go for a set of rules where each driver on top of the leaderboad may use car built and run according to different regulations. Baumschlager is an old man and if younger guys are not able to defeat him in a straight fight using cars under same regulations than it says quite a lot about them and their skills.
