In my country (Norway) illegal recce with actual rally cars would surely not only lead to exclusion from an event, but also result in loss of driver/codrivers licence for a substantial time period. With this risk in mind, I can`t recall any drivers who has "dared" to do that during the years I have been active.

Are Ford still using the S60 Volvo's for Recce? Seen about 10 parked outside their hotel last year
They also used one as the 0 car.. Did Ford supply this one?
Rather hear the wail of the Bowler they used in 04
Citroen used Mitsubishi Evo's, is this still the case?
A pic of the one Loeb ditched a few years ago lol
Any ideas what Mini will use? BMW X3's maybe or a clubman AWD!!

Here in Australia we generally use a 2 pass system. On local events with 3 or 4 stages used several times we recce in the morning & start the event at about 1pm. This means getting your notes spot on is really important & many people (in perth at least) don't use camera's. I personally wouldn't use as there is a very fine balance between have great notes & committing to them & relying on memory (which isn't always correct).
NOT, to answer your question, yes there are isolated case of people doing illegal recce but they are dealt with severly. We have a ban for the two months prior to the event on illegal recce.Stephen

Ive seen non-factory drivers using all kinds of different cars for recce, of course those with budget tend to use evos and imprezas, but I remember Prokop trashing a rental Mitsubishi Outlander in rally mexico... its always cool to see what happens behind the scenes

and to clarify things...for the greek championship we don't have a limit in recce they can do as many passes as they want (as long as they don't drive the stage backwards...but again even some do that also) but for the WRC and ERC rounds we do, but again in Greece none cares...
