Following a change at the top of the order on the ultimate stage, then rumours of Ogier’s Citroën receiving a penalty because its rear wing wasn’t fitted for the podium ceremony (finally no action was taken), news soon filtered through that Ford had lodged a protest."
Is this rally sponsored by Citroen, right? :rolleyes: Is this good for the new WRC?
what is your opinion about the main sponsor of acropolis rally being the BP ultimate ??? who was also the main sponsor of the Ford team ??
Well apart from all this penalties stuff, watching the coverage of the rally I thought it looked an excellent event. Nice stages, plenty of action, crowds of spectators and lots of good attacking driving :up: Hopefully I'll get there in the next few years....
So how someone won is never important?Quote:

I think that is little bit to harsh, Loeb got 1 minute penalty and has not cheat to win the rally. Organizers or FIA or whoever else involved has made mistake and was penalized. Simple as that.Quote:

So, they (stewards) decided to close the case.
Normally such cars will not be allowed to continue or get some kind of penalty (Mostly DNF). Everybody who has done some rallying know that when they leave from the service even without rear spoiler, then they will be excluded.. most probably. I think Iskald can tell about his experience in Rally Norway and how the reused one rear spoiler several times just for entering and leaving the service:-P You can come into the service with all parts hanging off, but you have to leave with normal looking car.
So, the only reason might be related to the fact that it was only last drive from service to podium. But I must admit that stewards are always more kind to factory cars than they are to privateers. Which is not good.
