Is there a rule against this? There shouldn't be - add an infosec element to Formula E!

  > the competitor had installed RFID scanning equipment in the pit lane entry this morning that was able to collect live data from all cars. Firstly, it is forbidden in general for competitors to install or place any equipment in the pit lane. Secondly, the collection of data by this method gives the competitor a lot of information, which is a huge and unfair advantage. I'm with you. To me, the second point is irrelevant. Something is either explicitly forbidden by the rules, or allowed by them. If doing this provides an unfair advantage then maybe there needs to be a new rule. To be honest, I think not making it a rule and letting everyone do it (as long as they can do it without breaking the rule on the first point) would make the game more interesting.

    Well it was strictly forbidden. it is forbidden to install or place any equipment in the pit lane. Had they been reading this info from a device placed within their garage, it might have been a grayer area. I expect a full clarification and likely more explicit ban or such devices will be forthcoming.

  It's in the article: "it is forbidden in general for competitors to install or place any equipment in the pit lane"
