Can't think of the last time a CART team/car was caught.
Last year in F1, Ferrari got away with murder with out of spec barge boards. McClaren had a similarly small dimensional infraction this year (front wing was too low, post-race, on a track so bumpy that most cars had damage), but since the FIA is pro-Ferrari, McClaren lost the appeal.
And NFS4, I doubt you would like Brooke ...
