I don't agree that it's just recycling entries. Situation in mid-season and at the end is different for crews. Most of the crews don't drive last events because they already lost championship targets by that time. It's not the case of earlier events where there is always a lot to fight for.
The reason is to make championship more interesting for longer season. To fight till the end...
I can see what you all mean I suppose - it does mean that anyone within 49 points of the top of the championship going in to Cyprus can still win which is quite exciting. However it also means that if you win Scotland and Cyprus you get 37.5 more points than if you win Monte Carlo and Tour de Corse which seems odd to me.
I shouldn't complain though as it means the rally at Scotland will be more exciting this year when I go to watch it! Also it strengthens Mikkelsen's chances in my opinion as these two events are probably his strongest.
With low list of top contenders and with live $coverage$. ;)Quote:

Didier Vanwijnsberghe sold his Skoda Fabia Evo1 to Wevers Sport. One of the reason he gives for the sale, is that Evo 1's are not permitted for the Ypres Rally :confused:
According to FIA rules any part homologated in erratum (ER) is mandatory after one year from homologation. For wide body wheel guards, bumpers and bonnet of Fabia it's 1st June 2011. But it's not difficult to rebuild the car (it's probably more about money). Wevers will do that too.Quote:

I had a look into FIA page. There are these erratums. Mandatory use is meant in any FIA event.
1st June (mandatory for Ypres):
TRANSMISSION / POWER TRAIN
SUSPENSION / SUSPENSION
CARROSSERIE / BODYWORK
1st July:
TRAIN ROULANT / RUNNING GEAR
MOTEUR / ENGINE
Plus also new safety features which must be use in all cars since 1st January (plastic windows, safety foam in door).
