Colin McRae....ok. I think though these "shortcuts" are somewhat forbidden since this year, are they not?

when will be the final press conference?
Happy for Kris he's now showing that he can be fast and consistent and the contract for next year must be secured already. Hope that with more experience with the rallies and the car he can be a little bit faster and will chalenge the VW boys. Also positive rally for Kubica menaging to finish it without rally2 and taking some points. Still making small mistakes but experience is needed to be fast and consistent in WRC. Bring on rally France now!
only 6 more points than latvala and Ogier secures title number 2...
Atko big disappointment. As well as TAnak who´s crashing all the time.
Meeke, Mikko, Paddon, JML very good performances.
Maybe tyre choices should be out. Everyone wear same after decision from tyre maker?
It's a circuit racing rule, 'respect track limits' - and has no place in Rallying. Even the penalty is a circuit racing penalty; 'gaining an advantage' so has to give a place up; so, if you are 5,10,30 secs or even 5mins ahead of the car behind, you have to drop behind them. Utterly ridiculous - if you must get a penalty, name it 5/10 secs.
But, why had this rule been introduced? 'Cutting' had been in Rallying forever....so why change it now?
FiA Jobsworths strike again.
So VW get their 1,2,3 and the Manufacturers Title. Well seeing as Jost loves RallyX, maybe they can go there, and take him with them - and leave the WRC alone.
Funny talk about the cutting.
The decision is completely in line with the age-old rule in rallying: competitors must follow the route shown in the road book. Quite often (in special stages) it's applied in a way that atleast two wheels have to be on the marked route. If you take a massive cut, you're not following the route. In some occasions organizers should also prevent cutting in places they don't want it to happen (like perhaps here should have been done).

Atkinson left Australia too early, or didn't do enough in the lower series, before moving to WRC. He's never recovered his potential since.
