With Paraguay being probably rough and difficult for the cars and Chile suiting both Kalle and Elfyn, 2 tarmac rounds where Kalle showed he can go fast this year and total car-breaker Arabia, I wouldn't bet on Tanak, just because of him driving Hyundai..

5 minute penalty for engine change is for changing the engine after shakedown and before the rally starts. You can't change the engine after TC0.

I don't think that 5 minutes is too much for driving off while a technical official is inspecting the car - it's less than the penalty for not stopping at a time control.

Tried to edit post but forum gives database error.
What I would add is the procedure for holding a car while it is being inspected needs to be reviewed to stop this from happening again.

Stay

Staying on offtopic, 5min penalty in Finland or just in Kenya are whole differen
