I don't see the point, an instant hit has always been a harder hit than one from the class average for a combination. Like any penalty, the greater of any penalties for the same "offense" is the one applied.

The minimum instant hit is greater than the adjustment you get from the class average by definition.

If a combination is hit with an instant adjustment, the only fair thing to do is start all over with data collection.

Regardless of how much the new cars are underfactored, writing "special" rules to hit them is not the way to do it. The minute you write "special" rules for one, it opens the door to do it to anyone. Fair is fair, same rules for everyone.

excellent point Alan, however just from looking at a DP challenger you can tell its not "same rules for everyone" right now, especially the V10

Doesn't matter. As soon as you rewrite the rules so they can "get" one guy, you open the door, and they will rewrite the rules to get anyone they want.

The test of a law is not how much good can be done with it in the right hands, but rather how much damage can be done with it in the wrong hands.

The same applies to rules.
