With regards this comment:

*"If you are asking whether people will use every option available in their
quest for performance, then the answer is yes – pretty much by definition."*


I understand that to be the case and it's very obvious that there is a
massive effort expended in pursuit of performance enhancement.

But that's not really what my question was about - it was more to do with
exploiting vague areas of the rules specifically to gain advantage.

Possibly without any effort at all apart from spotting a vague area...


I'm don't get the feel that anyone in F1D is particularly aligned in that
direction.




Best regards

Simon
