Nope, but that's not the point. If it was EFRA coming out and saying that all nitro classes would now run 16% that'd be fine, but looking at their statement that's clearly not what they want.
Just like basically everything in politics nowadays this is a boiling frog situation. First they stopped allowing private entities to buy pure nitro, then the limit went to 25% for our fuel, now it's going to less than 16%, next they'll restrict Methanol (not joking btw, it's more or less confirmed), after that they might outright ban nitro fuel. If we don't get louder each step it won't stop.

To re-iterate: I don't care about racing going to <16%, I do care about factual errors in the law and not being allowed to buy 25% because of some bs regulations and politicians being too lazy to come up with a good way to get a license for it before banning it.
