In regards to the Ogier incident. I have been in a sort of similar situation and not been penalised. This was in Rally NZ 2005 when we had dnf'd on the first day and the truck that was taking us back to service went into the service park by mistake instead of the regroup area. Didn't check into time control, just turned around and went into the regroup. We wern't penalised. So why should Ogier be penalised as he has realised when turning into the service that he was wrong and turned around and went to the regroup. If he had checked in at service then there would have been an issue.

Haven't you heard about the button in car 1 that you can press to disable the electrics in any other Citroen. It's only fitted to car 1 and removed if that car is then onsold to another competitor :)

Viva la whateva x2 already, what an exciting season it will be.

lol.

Cant remeber which competitor now but mabye someone else saw it.
On the coverage of Sweden one of the co-drivers had to help the car out of a snowbank got back in and they drove off with their belts still being done up...Loeb was penalised badly in one rally for Elena doing that yet this competeitor wasnt. But who cares we have a great fight building up, Mikko will have better road posistions could be a great rally just enjoy the rally instead of moaning about
