Evidence: Team archive
The event package
Fixed circuit, car, session length and rules, distributed as files small enough for dial-up.

Checksums, controlled setups and replay review substituted for a trusted server.
Why it still matters
The habit of publishing evidence with every result carried into modern league governance.
