2011 WRC Rally Mexico

if you go by the book then 99% of all the crews would be disqualified....at first when i heard about ogier i would like him to be excluded, but the actual incident involved 10-50 meters maximum, it would be ridiculous to exclude him or take any kind of action against him.

so i will instead satisfy my thirst with bobcats bitter tears...they taste nice.

It would even be better for the spirit of the game if all drivers could get a change to hurry up to the service crew and quickly fix their problems and then quickly rejoin the rally. So nobody would loose time due to stupid things like mecanical trouble and regulation. Because regulations and mecanical trouble are bad for the (motor)sport. Whe disqualify a driver for wearing good glows, even when their homologation is expired, but let a top professional driver slip to the service crew, hand over his time card and get away with it?
The FIA should then forgive every driver who clocks in too soon or too late. be an angel and forgive them their silly mistake. Ogier made a very big mistake and should be penelized, no matter the car, the team the nationality or his champion position. You say that regulations are ruining the spirit of sport?

One meter earlier in time control is 1 minute penalty so if you go to service park instead of regrouping it must be a penalty.. Maybe after rally..

30.5.1 Crews must check-in in the correct sequence of controls and in the direction of the rally route,
under pain of exclusion pronounced by the clerk of the course.

I remember too what happened a few years ago in Finland, the issue about wearing clothes, making some drivers excluded. Compared to that you are right. No doubt. But then you compare and make conclusions that cannot be a result of the Ogier-mistake.

So - lets not make this a big issue, because its not.

BoooooooHoooooooooo

BooooooHoooooooo

BooooooHooooooooo

the citroens are beating us like no tommorow...please daddy do something...they are ridiculing us.....

BoooooHoooooooooo

BooooooooooHooooooooo

BooooooooooooHooooooooo

you want to see rallies being won by exclusions and no driving skills.....pathetic.

Sometimes it amazes me just how bitter some of the Ford fans are in here. It's not pretty....

For once N.O.T. and I are completely agreed in the matter of Ogier, despite we are great Ford fans....?

Not long untill the start.
