It's an interesting argument if kept friendly but I can imagine could become very heated in the paddock between car owners.
If only some of them were that simple! I believe that some somewhat more exotic material than metal is being used in F5000 cars, and to me that is way outside, at least, the spirit and probably even the rules for the 5000. But someone is claiming to be making and selling these components. Not really their fault, but the buyers are probably crossing a few lines. It's a bit like complaining about the tabloid press, if no-one bought the things the publisher would not print the crap!
