Yeah, we don't have the power to weight rule, so if an engineer approves the car then it is good enough to be legal. The downside is that the engineering tests are much more thorough and consist of chassis stiffness test, lane changing test, braking tests, etc etc and costs more to do. So basically the engineer really does test that the car can handle 200kw+ of power! Thats about all I know sorry.
