2010 IRC Rally Islas Canarias

[[Madeira-Rally]]

That's a "stupid" rule... because almost all drivers break it!

Even in local rallys, the rule exists, but everyone knows that everybody is breaking the rule... and nothing happen!

In local Madeira Rallys you have 2 specific days for recce, but any driver respect the rule... that's very common everywhere, like Mirek wrote...

Thats dosen't make sense.

The organisation of the rally has no right to prevent a driver from getting through the roads an week earlier if the road is open to the public, dont forget drivers are citizens and therefore they have the same rights.

[Mirek]

There are of course exceptions for drivers who use stages on journey to work etc. but they are obliged to inform rally organization. Those rules work for many years. It's just about the way they are applied and sense of fair play.

And yes, they can prevent drivers from driving on public roads The reason is that when driver enters event, it means he agrees with suplementary regulations. Recce rules are part of them. Maybe better to say, they can't stop them doing that but they can punish them - refuse to accept entry form, give some penalty etc. Organizer should also inform ASN.

Shouldn't stage 7 and 8 be live now, i don't see any results of stage 7 yet?

[Mirek]

Stage 7 started at 19:03 (there was 30 min delay). Juho must be close to finish now.

[RS]

Meeke fastest again. I doubt Kopecky can do anything about this lead now.

[Madeira]

no time for Vallejo yet....

[Mirek]

His time appeared now, he is late (2 mins penalty).

[Luis Pacheco]

He was penalized at SP and his starting out of his order.

[Madeira]
