Stewards are still thinking this few hours before the start according the start lists..

Just scanned in a wrong order.

Finally the official results are out. There was again confusion with the C3 R5... €10.000 fine to Citroën Racing but luckily Bonato keeps his 10th place.

Entry list is out:

No Al-Attiyah but a decent amount of R5s.

Lukyanuk is so sure about the championship that he decided to throw away two leg points with those donuts?

Well, the WRC rules say you cannot use any part of a stage more than two times.

"13. RALLY CHARACTERISTICS
13.1 RALLY CONFIGURATION
...
13.1.3 No one stage or part of a stage may be run more...

So no Ralfs Sirmacis or have I missed something?

Neuville got to choose his number first and he picked 5.

Well of course, but very often that just isn't enough nowadays.

Maybe Gardemeister has something to do with this. Former Skoda factory driver.

But the current regulations say that you get excluded from the championship if you don't compete all those three rounds. That's stupid in my opinion.

Btw, entry list is out in official website in excel form

10 WRCs, Lappi and Kopecky for Skoda. That's about it

Well done harriswrc!

I must say these pickems increased my interest to ERC this season a lot. So thank you PLuto for that.

I think the third missing driver was #40 Giordano, not Bonato.

It was in the end of Ouninpohja, so it's driven to other direction this year. Not worth going I'd say.

Don't know about the rule, have it really been mentioned anywhere? It would be great of course. This season last four rallies the 25 manu points for victory has gone to the number 2 teams of VW and...

Well, I think only Joonas Soilu is a guy who might be driving for more than just for fun.

Btw, Bergkvist is in now :)

Matti Koskelo entered with Toksport's Fiesta RS WRC.

Also with Toksport, Janne Tuohino in Fiesta R5! I like that

From Rally de Portugal thread:


How is that now it seems Abbring was able to score manu points in this rally? Doesn't make any sense

Stewards Communication No. 4:

"The stewards authorise the opening of parc fermé for all cars except the cars still in final scrutineering and car No. 4."

So Sordo's car got something wrong?

It's here http://www.rajdpolski.pl/pliki/zawodnicy/2016/entry_list_-_pzm_73rd_rally_poland.pdf

And what a great list it is!

Yes I think so, last time a WRC Team used two cars for points was in 2013 with Qatar WRT, Neuville doing all the rounds and Nasser scoring in four events (and Juho in Monte).
