And here is the stewards communication about the opening of parc fermé for all cars at 20:20: http://uk.rallydeportugal.pt/Handler....pdf&menuid=60
Evgeny Novikov calls me and tell: Mikko is removed from classification. There was problems with turbo and flywheel. More than that, this parts of the car were used in Monte, Sweden and Mexico. People talks that Citroen could have problems with that....
Good for the championship but very bad for the sport itself.Quote:

@WorldRallyBlog not quite correct, Citroen deciding wether to appeal or not. If they do appeal and it fails, big big extra penalties
Probably when it was only a F2 championship event, not official.Quote:

Loeb still in the Lead then....LOL this guy is amazing....
Motors Tv just menioned the exclusion also...so its official....
Lets see if Citroen appeals....
It was Ian Duncan- Safari 1994 , Auriol 3rd and Kankunnen was out so the big boys where thereQuote:
