   Regulations are regulations - it's formula racing. They care about   
   compression ratio because they've decided to use it as a defined   
   measurable as part of the racing formula.   
      
   I've paid little attention to the behind-closed-doors test gossip   
   (although did make an effort to get a look at some of the clandestine   
   photographs of the cars on track - they do look nicer than last years,   
   imo!) but it seems that at least some of the teams have found a way to   
   "interpret" the regs on this to gain performance. And the teams that   
   haven't had the same brainwave are throwing a fit. This happens every   
   year, for one thing or another, doesn't it?   
      
   Looking forward to the proper testing - and we're also only a month away   
   from the first race! :-D
