Parc ferme regs have largely been unchanged since they were introduced which was before the budget cap.

Excessive plank wear is most affected by ride height. I guess they could mark the floors to make sure they are using the same one, but virtually impossible to police.
Simple, teams must keep all of the same parts on the car, but you can change/adjust them. Front/rear flaps, springs, etc. If a team wants to take a chance on adjusting setups for different conditions etc, let them. Teams will make mistakes and weather will change...it'll spice it up. I think they're only allowed to change front wing and tire pressures IIRC.

I also didnt think that planks needed to last an entire weekend. To me they should absolutely be allowed to change every session, but must be in compliance after each session.
