    Broke rules? I find it more peculiar that a shape of a windowwhich even didn´t fit on that doormodel can make FIA fine 50k Euros is most unethical.

    They could have said: "Hey, guys, you´ve messed this up with the scrutineer/homolgationdepartment at FIA and on Monday morning you have to fix this immediately so papers are in order next rally in Poland. Or else we have to fine you at least 5000 Euros."

    To me it had looked more justice than this 50k fine for almost nothing.

    The seal was broken on the rear diff when it was not allowed. It's clear violation of the rules and it's normal to expect a penalty for that.

    No, if you look at his time (final time) without the 5 min penalty at the end of the rally... What position would he have been?

    Sorry, that was Prokop's case. I didn't read You post properly. In case of Hyundai it's more or less ridiculous mess but quite expensive...

    We were in Sardinia for the last 6 years in a row, this year we decided to go for Portugal.
    In Portugal Neuville whithout fuel... in Sardinia victory, shame we waren't there...
    Still, solid drive by Thiery, ok road position has helped him, but afternoon second pass stages were also fast.

    Congrats tho them, hope the bal starts rolling again now, battling for podium / victory on all events. He does have the potential for that!

    Anyone know if Sardinia wil be in 2017 WRC calendar?
