At least if Ogier does get a penalty for the timecard it won't be the penalty that decides the winner.
I'll be coming to Finland.Quote:

Stunning drive by Neuville. Definitely the best of his rallys. This rally could be a turning point for the championship. Hope to see some more of these fights!
I think that more importantly that these statistics are more important or that this is what counts at the end od the day.Quote:

Also Loubet retired after the last stage...
I understood it was because traffic? I’m not sure it will hold?
I think it will stay. There were some crews later in 20A, no penalties there. But Tanäk was late in 20B, which is regrouping out. If he was not delayed by scrutineers or marshalls, it was stupid mistake.Quote:

Btw, where's the RX fellow that said the WRC was less exciting than watching paint dry?
He is watching the Monster team domination in the Monster sponsored series.Quote:

What a rally! Friday from dust till mud, everything was there on the 4 stages we did. Yesterday we choose quality over quantity and went to 2 stages without rushing. Today on and around the beach was great too!

Joost couldn't make it, so unfortunately no video this time.
Latvala made the same power stage mistake as last year?
What a thriller to the end. What a drive by Neuville, beating Ogier by straight driving without big mistakes or setbacks from Ogier, a big mental step for Neuville. Watching the Neuville onboard from Cala Flumini was probably the greatest All Live moment so far, such crazy driving and fighting for fractions of seconds at the front. I think it was remarkable how far Ogier and Neuville were from the rest. And in a sense, the same was noticable yesterday between Lappi-Latvala and Paddon-Østberg.
Also nice that Lappi got now two clean drives after a troubled start of the season, a podium well deserved. Good to see Latvala back on pace as well, it's still unclear whether the retirement was his own fault or not. Kind of same with Tänak.
Breen has had a really difficult season apart from Sweden where the front runners suffered from the loose snow, but it seems he also has a lot of technical difficulties which always put him in a bad road position, ruining the rest of the rally. Paddon was also quite tame compared to his best days, maybe he took it easy because of the Portugal injury?
Why does it take the wrc.com team to update the site on points?

wow... what a rally. Neuville deserves a big congrats.
Is it the first time Ogier has been bitten fair and square and cannot blame anyone or anything?! other than his driving??
the summer will be a long wait...
The results are not yet official. Post-event scrutineering, possible protests etc.Quote:

No new details about Tanak penalty?
Curious question... Does the time card actually have any meaning these days in world rallying where everything is digital or is it just tradition and paperwork?
Normally time after PS to TC is 10 minutes, this time it was 3. Their mistake.Quote:

From my point of view, it is stupid decision.

Ogier "timecard" decision http://rallyitaliasardegna.com/?ddownload=1764
it should be exclusion... but since they lost they treated them lightly...Quote:

No. I think this is not break of article 2.13. There should be no penalty, maximum of reprimand.Quote:

yep, but they can't check in before Tanak was checked. So if no TC19A late penalty for Ogier - it was before in queue to check-in.Quote:

Yes it´s stupid but right one. Time penalty would have been wrong. And no penalty also would have been wrong. Time card is so important paper, so if you lose it you must get penalty.Quote:
