I do believe it is possible to better define what type of body is permitted with very little work. One sentence would do it. And it would eliminate 99.9% of the questions. Of course my version of that sentence would eliminate racing cars, exotics & concept cars. Your mileage may vary.

I strongly believe that all "weasel words" like "discouraged" should be removed from a rule book. I downloaded the IndyCar rule book from the web. 261 pages and not one instance of "discouraged" in it. Also, I'll point out that they use "shall not" instead of "should not" because it eliminates ambiguity too.

Basically I just think some of us just want better definition and consistency. I don't understand why a DP looking body is legal, but a LMP looking body is illegal? Don't forget, the biggest advantage of tighter rules is you don't have to constantly modify them. They'll still work in the future when new bodies come out.
