Well rules are clear, it's weighed with 1 spare. But I assume they gamble on the fuel, so on empty it's <1200kg.Quote:

...Exclusion? The FIA are very inconsistent with their penalties regarding underweight cars.
hi, the scales used to weigh the cars are supplied by the FIA and are the same scales used for every weighing of the cars, from pre event to post event scrutineering.
the crews are informed of the weight at all weighings.
i guess it must have been at post event scrutineering the anomaly was found.
very harsh penalty i feel
cheers pete
Exclusion is the correct penalty. How do you quantify the advantage of an underweight car?
At the end of the day the teams know the rules and an underweight car is effectively illegal equipment.
It is their responsibility to comply.
You mean works team entries disqualified? Well, Finnish prime example of disqualification doesn't quite match for that, but in Rally Finland 2006 Juho Hänninen was excluded for having wrong kind of underwear, not the fireproof. Four other drivers - Urmo Aava among them - took the same sentence. Hänninen drove Mitsubishi WRC, his name as an entrant, but the car was as close to a works entry as possible with Mitsubishi at the time, I think.Quote:

Yes, I meant manufacturer entries. Privateers are always disqualified for anything...Quote:

Does anyone know have Citroen handled their cars before the power stage? I reccon Petter did all the same as factory cars to gain maximum speed at PS.
So how can this happen???!!! :confused:
