Makes a mockery of the entire 'Team' and 'Team Driver' process.

So should Associated hand back their 89 and 91 World Championships? Both were won with hand built cars designed for those specific tracks and were never designed to be standard production cars. They sold an awful lot of standard RC10 kits on the back of those wins.
Should Kyosho hand back their 87 win, as there were more option parts on Joel Johnsons Ultima than standard parts. Or Craig Dreschers 95 Euros win with a prototype car that later became the CAT 2000EC. Or Jamie Booths 91 national win with a custom built buggy that was 'offically' a Manta Ray.
One of the points of team drivers is to develop the product, which means they are the ones you would expect to be running prototype parts and chassis.
