The critical thing here is that the free form cage has to pass a test that the MSNZ approved design would fail.

A total farce and like Dave, Bob and others I am extremely angry about it. I have a distant contact at TV's "Fair Go" and was going to get them filming the removal of the front part of the cage, so that the car then conformed, just to show how stupid it all is. Maybe if we all approach Fair Go before we physically attack the cars with angle grinder or plasma cutters, we might get some sense as it is unfair that those MSNZ officials who are backing us, are unfairly put under the same spotlight?

It is down in B & W that MSNZ is there to encourage participation, not discourage it.
