Looks like Bruyneel retired on SS4 and Pons on SS5

We would be about to see the Volant Peugeot 207 drivers winning the 2WDs but also possibly finishing on podium(Blanc was 4th overall after SS4)

He blocked a Special Stage at Rallye Lyon CHarbonnières after being crashed because he feared that an other car destroy his Subaru WRC. The race director refused to call a tow truc to move the impreza.

It's the rule, if the car doesn't block totally the stage, you have to wait the end of the stage to take your car back. I think it could be better to stop the race for 10 minutes than to destroy your car with another accident...

**Mirek** · 28th Jun 12, 12:24

Thank You. That's really strange...

**Tom206wrc** · 28th Jun 12, 14:55

Yep, weard

If the stage would be stopped when somebody has crashed and is afraid of damage to his car then one stage would last the whole day. Every crew would request for a tow truck so that they could get away from the stage and not wait for other cars to finish the stage...

I agree, but sometimes the car is clearly in a dangerous place, here Brunson was stopped in a 6th gear section...
