I thought Charlie was one who had to know the regulations as good as possible.Blanchimont wrote:I would not trust Charlie, it seems he's no idea of the rules.
For example:
AMuS: Die Regeln erlauben maximal acht Gänge. Darf man auch mit sieben fahren?
Whiting: Das wäre kein Problem.
Translation:
AMuS: The rules allow a maximum of 8 gears. Can you run the car with seven gears, too?
Whiting: That would be OK.
The rules say:
"9.6.1 The number of forward gear ratios must be 8."
Just don't underestimate him either - the gears must be there, but you don't have to use them. There is a bit lost in translation here, since that statement could also mean "Are you allowed to drive with seven?" I wish AMS would print their interviews in the original language, since they lean themselves out the window so often.Blanchimont wrote:I would not trust Charlie, it seems he's no idea of the rules.

I would be surprised If he actually wouldn't be aware of such a basic rule. So I guess he knows what he is talking aboutBlanchimont wrote:I would not trust Charlie, it seems he's no idea of the rules.
