They FIA or whatever) haven´t thought of the consequences of that rule. Gives only a way to gain more tyres for the rally, which I presume wasn´t the intention. And as a bonus SD being a joke. Glad I´m not there waisting time.

So lesson identified is that drivers need an extra "free" set of tyres for shakedown.

you are absolutly right, but the team bosses will always count on worst case....what if we have 6 punctures, what if the weather changes, what if we need 4 fresh tires for power stage...it is not logic and it will not happen, but they must be prepaired for any situation...
so the only solution is 1- give 4 extra tires for shakedown BUT take them back after shakedown
2 reduce PET to maximum 1 day per driver before the event
than we will have usefull shakedowns, especially on gravel, but with the existing rules it will be a desaster on gravel rallyesJuha Kankkunen: "The speed was o.K., but the corner was to tight"

Yes it´s called shakedown for a reason. If not trying your car properly you might loose that extra assessment needed for the 1/10 of a second differ.

Did Jan Solans get 3 points for his 8th place at the end of saturday? Wikipedia and WRC site shows he didn't, eWRC shows he did.
