Nitrous?
I hope you are not right.
In the 80's a friend of mine who owned a Porsche VW
dealership raced Golfs. He is a pretty talented driver
and was consistently faster than all others in his class.
When he easily won the last race of the season,the other
entrants demanded a tear down of his engine. Noooooo he said, dont bother, this engine was shipped directly to me from VW in Germany. He had all the documents, etc, etc..
The demand for scrutiny won out. Upon tear down, it was discovered to be 200 cc's bigger than the rules allowed.
Neither he nor his service department had increased its deplacement. VW had intentionally shipped him a "ringer."
How kind of them!
Im not implying that any manufacturer would slip the press a "special" car, but its actually quite easy to do, either
through displacement, assembly tolerances, electronic controls or a combination of all three.
