Default Re Cells

Hello All

Just as an aside.

In the information sent to the drivers giving the list of allowable products, it doesn't mention the Sanyo 3600 cell.

So while I can appreciate that being 'fair' to Sanyo would be nice, isn't it more important to be 'fair' to the drivers who will have obviously been under the impression that they wern't going to be allowed?

The same obviously applies to body's - the list sent out had some notable ones missing, however with all due respect the cost of a shell is small change compared to the possibly perceived cost of replacing all your cells?

However what both issues demonstrate is that a procedure of homologation, which then gives a fixed list for the year, is required, that way there's plenty of time for internal circulation to check for mistakes and all the drivers know in plenty of time what's legal and what's not.

Oddly enough that's been done in a few individual countries for quite some time...
