I know, but the regulation isn't that the compression ratio shall be 16:1 only at ambient tests. It's 16:1 - and then it's tested for compliancy at ambient temps. Just introducing another test shouldn't be a regulatory change.

I believe that the way it is tested is written into the regulation. So, there is a sentence in there reading "tested at xy" and they need to chance that in order to add another test.

Agreed, that's the way the rule was written. A few YouTube people commented months ago about the possibility to use that loophole.

The 2026 regulations have loads of such loopholes. E.g. that cars are hard to follow are partly due to yet another loophole.
