Soooooo, many weeks after Rally Sweden and there's still no info from Compact Dynamics about the reasons for Tanak's hybrid system fault. Not good.

Do you know for sure that there isn't? Maybe it's just it hasn't been shared publicly.
Maybe, but the information is pretty crucial for everyone involved and even for the credibility of the WRC at the top Rally1 level.Quote:

Too bad publicity for Compact DynamicsQuote:

that one press release after Tanak's error was pretty poor and seemed like an answer form a guy, who was new to rallying (especially the time loss part)
Put something out thru WRC or DFish, that we found the problem and are on the way fixing it, making sure such thing won't happen in the future. Would give some positive image to that hybrid thing.
The reasons need to be made public so that the fans can understand and the sport can be seen as fair with the new (2 min) penalty award.Quote:

Disagree, that'll only remind average Joes who've forgotten that it failed in the past. Better than that is to have a clean Croatia, Portugal... as expected.Quote:

Finding out precisely what happened to Tanak's unit won't make any more sense of the two or ten minute penalty decision. That surrounds balancing safety requirements.Quote:
