      Hi Alex,

      If you want to race in the main series….the answer would be yes the engine would need to be sealed by an offical sealing agent.

      You could still come and race, but you wound not qualify for points or positions.
      IE you would start from the back….and and if you won the race, you would not get the points for that positions.

      Hope that answers you question.

      Monty
