Rhys' car is really sweet in person, the amount of work/design they put into that car gives him a shot at the Japanese guys.
i like the idea of the wing. btw, its not parallel =p, its slightly angled.
what says he should be penalized for coming up with something so badass and brilliant? its like a 50 dollar mod, if people haved thought it up any drifter can impliment it. I don't think the 500hp silvia vs 200hp corrola arguement applies. Its like if some driver "discovers" a better tire for drifting or something, he shouldn't be penalized cause his competitors could have done it, regardless of what kind of car/engine they drive, its universal.
Like in WRC, almost EXACTLY the same thing, a couple of years ago the scooby team discovered that having vertical partitions in the rear wing helps stabilize the car and impove the performance dramatically. Again, its a mod that doesn't depend on vehicle, but does give it an advange unrealized by everyone else. What happens? Everyone else realize how badass and simple that modification was and pretty soon every WRC car has some type of vertical partitions in the rear wing. Should the scoobys get a time or weight addtion because of an unfair advantage? no, its not unfair, its innovative.
now if D1 wants to regulate this style of wing later, then its up to them to write it in the rules.
i didn't go to D1 this time, but
1) the stupid "one more time" has got to stop, stupid ignorant masses
2) i do see some politics/favoritism going on, but thats not only against the American guys, its within the Japanese ranks as well. Deal with it, whinning doesn't help, winning does.
3) Rhys took 5th place in a D1 points round, thats pretty friggen good.
4) Irwendale is our home turf, i don't care how good these Japanese guys are, most of the top amateur/pro US drivers have had 10 times the amount of track time on the bank than our visitors, there is no reason why our drivers cannot pull off a handful of perfect runs in a day. Do better, if you have a perfect line, better speed, better angle, closer pursuit, you will win, if there is prejudice, then you have to beat it and show without a doubt you are better. Anything else is just excuses.

So i had to wait til the next round started to find out who won the previous round. Hopefully the final round in December will not be like this... I'll have to wait and see.
