Perhaps the other teams ask to run and got the ok...maybe WOO doesn't want every member to race anyrace so they only ok one or two.the first one or two to request..or maybe they treat it like a provisional and allow based on points standings..i don't know what the contract reads...Sides did -he ask-they didn't approve the request- he raced anyway...the penalty seems tough...but it's contract law when it goes before a judge
