Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

Wonder what the modifications were?The race-winning No. 171 APR/Gunther VW Volkswagen GTI and No. 181 APR/BBS Volkswagen GTI, both from APR Motorsport, were found to be using unauthorized engine modifications, a violation of the general automobile regulations (4-2.2), following their 1-2 finish.

That's wierd, I looked up the grand-am rules and found that 4-2.2 refers to battery mounting.
I must be looking at the wrong thing I think.4-2.2 Batteries - 12-volt systems only - must be securely mounted, sealed, and insulated.

You think I am defending???
If you looked at a lot of motorsport classes there is a lot of cheating/bending of the rules that go on and have for years.
APR are not the only ones out there stretching the rules.

I think its just a matter of when you will be caught. There are so many little things that may not give a competitve edge but may be seen as cheating.Comment

There has been cheating in motorsport since the first Chariot wheel hit the floor of the Colosseum, I find it funny that the general public *(not the members here but the great unwashed masses) are so shocked that there is. I can guarantee you that every single motorsport race you have ever watched someone was bending the rules, the old saying in motorsport goes its not cheating unless you get caught.
In saying all this and coming on top of of the Motor Tuner tyre fiasco I think a few fan boys will be getting some mileage out of this.
