That's the root of the argument-did Porsche ask for the rules, or did the ACO already have them written for '07?
There was no rule that said that Creation had to run the LMP2 tires on their car in '06 insofar as the max tire width was 16 inches for an LMP1 car-so LMP2 tires could be used by anyone who wanted to. But Creation didn't want to-they ran out of time converting the car from LMP675 to an LMP1 hybrid.
Porsche obviously wanted the wider tires on their car-did the ACO bend to them, or did the ACO have a similar rule already in place?
