I love John Hindhaugh, one of the chief voices of Radio Le Mans, but he is a hard fellow to figure out. On the one hand, he scolds fans like me for criticizing the Ford GT, since after all all the other G.T.E. competitors signed off on Ford's mockery of the regulations (I suppose to reap the benefits of the publicity the GT has generated). On the other hand, he's incensed now that the organizers, the A.C.O., appear to be selectively enforcing the rules in order to kneecap the second place-running № 82 Ferrari 488 & thus secure a Ford one-two-three finish in G.T.E. Pro. So, it's O.K. when the A.C.O. bends its own rules to allow Ford into the race, but it's a "travesty"—his word—when the A.C.O. bends its own rules to guarantee Ford a photo-op finish? Come on, John!
