Goodwood Revival cheats?

According to Motorsport, Ray Bellm's GT40 was running roller rockers and stronger valve gear to enable more RPM to gain a performance advantage. This is in contravtention of FIA Period F (pre 66) regulations. Two other cars/teams refused to have their engine capcacity checked in post race scrutineering.

Cheating? I think so. We all like to see 40's do well but by any means, fair or foul?

I have to say I am not surprised by this as Ray Bellm is a mega competitive chap. But it does taint all his previous results in this car.

Potential punishment is to not be invited back to next years event.
