I think a parc ferme for a club series is a complete waste of time ... unless it is suspected that one of the front runners (top 6 ?) are running some 'loophole' in the regs that they havnt discussed with the technical committee.
As for the rest of us ... is there some prize money up for grabs that I havnt heard of ?
If not, anyone running an 'illegal' bike is only cheating themselves.

Only the top 6 are likely to cheat then?

How about someone finishing in 7th coz they're running an illegal engine, and would normally finish 15th?

They're hardly just cheating themselves are they.

The only way you can stop cheating is by opening the rules up so that there is no room for cheating.

Have basic principles e.g. weight, engine capacity etc and then, anything else goes.

Otherwise saying 70bhp limit, or no this and that - if nobody checks EVERY bike, how can the rules be enforced?
