Someone mentioned before, I doubt someone protests and if they would, what penalty would they be looking to get for that car/driver? I guess this conversation will have everyone looking in trunks now...
What protest have you witnessed on something similar that was won and penalty associated with it? Floormats?
The only ones I've seen successful for a DSQ were wastegate related in STU and 140tw R1R, both of which were obvious and affected performance. I'm sure there are more than I've witnessed, but we'd usually hear about them over beers that night. Unless someone brings a 370Z to run in CS, I don't see any scenario where I'd protest someone. I'll just be there to drive, have some beers, and cheer on the FRS/BRZ contingent.
When I'm fighting for midpack at Nats, the last thing on my mind is going to be "oh man, I was only 4 seconds off that guy's pace, let me protest the lack of secured foam in his rear."
