I have been quite clear all along.

I was hoping you would show the slightest intelligence and realise how
fucking retarded you sound claiming that the literal meaning of
something is hidden in some unknown motorsport regulation that you had
difficulty tracking down.

I didn't need to look at it to check the veracity of your claim, right

You are so scared to admit you were being a pompous arsehole, trying to
be a clever dick and failed miserably.
