In such cases rally organizers should have reacted quickly. There was only one good solution. neutralize the results of that stage. But they missed their time slot and that caused all the trouble:-)

Itīs obvious - Citroen hired Mr Bartoz to change the way they should drive. And that legitimized the whole thing. Only though Ford didnt know...?
you actually accuse a safety official who has this job for more than 15 years.... of bribery ????? LOL
I think he was joking...Quote:

My guess is that simply Citroen had a man at this juntion. He seen the tape being taken down, and relyed the information to the team.
I think Ford should be more concerned how Loeb took 1min out of their no.1 driver, in 2 days.
Question 1: Are in Argentina Gravel Cars?Quote:

Sorry boys, this is Ford's money, badge and goodwill.... Mr. Wilson is only a very, very good businessman, he's just looking for a profit from business activities in M-Sport. The show is about the Ford's boss Gerard Quinn who spends time checking and supervising all Ford's European pretty budgets for winning success! Or not? :confused:Quote:

Spend how much money you want and put a teammember in every corner. Is that what you guys mean when comparing budgets and smartness between Ford and Citroen?
