It was not too long ago that IMSA, FIA and others tried to legislate
Porsche's engineering dominance out of endurance racing.  Whenever any
company achieves clear adventage through honest engineering, the losers
call foul and get the politicians to agree. 

Losers always seem to want to find the easy way out, and politicians (
aren't all the officials of FIA, FISA, IMSA and the other alphabet soup
governing bodies elected ?) seem to find a way to to agree ($?) 

Refuse to participate as a spectator, and tell them loudly.
