I think they will just put somebody near the track with very huge signs :-D Like paddock line
In Rallying You should go as fast as You can. With splits in the cars we often see comfort driving from the crew in advance, how this is more competitive? Many would agree that no splits are better for competition, probably except the drivers. I think this is becoming more "real" Rally.Quote:

Wording of the rule does not limit transmission in any way, so all forms are forbidden be it data logger, text message or someone with a board in the stage.Quote:

from WRC.COM article
It also means, for example, times cannot be sent by text message via a third party away from the rally, or by a team member displaying information on a board in the stage, as happened before electronic transmission became the norm.

That has to be proved first I guess. Otherwise is going to be a circus.Quote:
