Yes, I agree. But for sure they must make the regulation and penalties clear, that somebody from another team/fan/journalist cannot make problems...Quote:

It requires good information for the man with the board which is possible only in some places of the stages, it requires a lot of people. In the end it doesn't change that much in my opinion. Some teams used it in IRC where splits were forbidden and it didn't prevent cases when some driver was able to make tens of seconds in one stage by a sudden crazy attack (in most extreme case it was over a minute in one stage).Quote:

- It is clarified that a car which has not started from the start line within 20 seconds will be considered as retired and will be able to restart under Rally 2 on the subsequent day.
Does this mean if the car stalls on the start line and fail to start within 20s the crew will retire? Also someone this year failed to start on the correct minute waiting for next one (Sordo ??) and then realised it, does it mean they would have been retired?
It says start line so i understand it means if the engine stalls.
It used to be 30 seconds. I remember once when a driver had a mechanical problem they went out quickly and pushed the car away from the start-line, to retire soon after...Quote:

Sometimes I'm still wondering... Are the journalists so stupid that they don't understand Capito's sarcasm and jokes? Or is he really that much of an idiot?Quote:
