It’s not a mechanical thing, it’s a legality thing in that the car could complete the road section as did Tanak today, but it was deemed that he shouldn’t have.
As a spectator it really pisses me off that one of the guys we are here to watch, won’t be on the stages tomorrow for such a shitty reason.
I accept not everyone will think the same as me, but I want to see as many good cars as often as possible....and from a competitive stand point that car will have been penalised on the SS anyway.
