I bought trailer brakes from walmart.com, so... yeah

Technically you did say Gio is the best in the pool, so the responder saying talent =/= best in a team sport could be a proper argument to that point - that's only if the minor assumptions made there (namely by best you mean most talented) are accurate.

Anyway, just figured I'd hopefully help clarify where everyone was coming from. Cheers

Probably the best way to process it would be that it's so outlandish and foolhardy and unlikely to work that they never even considered outlawing it. However, I would expect there to very soon be a new rule preventing it in the future.

That's how crazy it is and how outside the box. They didn't think they needed a rule against it but now will almost certainly make one.

Maybe this is stupid or won't help, but imagine if Maradona's "hand of God" was actually legal at the time and just no one had thought to do it because of the integrity of the sport and everyone just knows you're not supposed to do that. However, he does it to score an incredibly important and iconic goal and it forces a rule to be made preventing it.

It's that sort of situation

Do we have in car footage or comms? I'm wondering if he announced it or if we can get some crew chief reaction or spotter.

I just wonder how it's enforced? Subjectively? Like what about some of the epic finishes of old where the two leaders spin each other out and go careening through the grass trioval frontstretch and across the line? Could the guy in second therefore not be allowed to pass during that wreck in the grass?

What about legitimately during other wrecks where some cars have had to go real low and even into the grass to get by safely and pass everyone?

I think this will be immensely difficult to write a rule for objectively and it will have to be left up to race officials to decide on individual occurrences.
