Exactly - if Aston manage to make the car work properly and be truly competitive and then they can start arguing about the equivalency rules. Until then there is no argument, as neither they nor anyone else are putting the same resource into a petrol car as Pug & Audi are into Diesel. When a top line manufacturer steps up to the plate then I am sure the ACO will take the steps necessary.
Just look at the progress made by Audi and Pug have made already to claw back the time lost by the rule changes. So far the petrol cars have not made anything like the same progress.
It will be interesting to see what HPD can do with what is an interim car. I suspect they will give a clearer picture as to where the true equivelency lies
