Rally Deutschland 2012

I'm totally lost in Tanak's case :confused: Why they can't use replaced components? Because don't want to? And what this has to do with retirement really? That doesn't count for participation?

I did not get the problem with Tanak. Could someone explain what is the case?

Any news about Latvala and VW ?? or latvala has not got the sponsorship money he needs to go there yet ??

Yeah, where is the most interesting part of the Rally?

EDIT: And wasn't Reb Bull supposed to provide details of their promotion of the series during it?

@stefanvv & Rautiainen - they changed the whole rear differential. Thats what i saw yesterday in the service parc.

Maybe they had to use the old one for the rally? Or maybe they tested something new.. ;)

@N.O.T - nope, didn't hear anything (yet)

Thank you. May be it is secret... M-Sport's article doesn't tell anything clear...

64.5 LIMITATION OF TRANSMISSION & SPARE PARTS
64.5.1 For a Manufacturer or a WRC Team, a list of linked rallies intended to be run with the same transmission and spare parts must be notified to the FIA prior to the first rally in which they will take part as:

- 1 link of 2 rallies per car and 3 links of 3 rallies per seasonally allocated car number for a Manufacturer or a WRC team which has nominated all Championship rallies.
- 4 links of 2 rallies per seasonally allocated car number for a WRC Team which has nominated 10-12 rallies.
- 3 links of 2 rallies per seasonally allocated car number for a WRC Team which has nominated 7, 8 or 9 rallies.

If a car does not finish a rally of a link, new transmission and spare parts may be sealed at scrutineering of the next rally.

Thank you. That makes little more sense (of course we don't know which links were used and when).
