Can someone tell me what this means as I'm struggling!:
"Any rear undertray or boot floor must be horizontal within 10mm when measured transversely at 90º to the longitudinal axis of the car."

Any undertray got to be pretty much horizontal / level from left to right

yup my interpretation as well.
probably something to stop you use the undertray as an aerodynamic device.

Excellent - so I thought.

I assume it is extracted from the RGB regs, its not the most clearly written rule, but is intended to prevent diffusers with side fences and / or tunnels being used.

thats an interpretation of the rules as they are meant to sound and the spirit in which they are written but are wide open for abuse imho

cheers
