To me getting stuck is sort of a part of Safari...in the old days you could get stuck in a river crossing or a mudhole for an hour, that's basically same as 10 minutes of penalty.

On a 5000km endurance rally getting stuck for an hour is no immense problem. On a 300km sprint that should not happen.
Especially not when drivers get penalised for driving next to the road. If we allow undrivable roads we should also allow drivers to not use them.

Even 5 minutes is too long on such a short event.
Either ist endurance, and then they need a lot more km's to make it so. Or its sprint and then staying on the normal tracks should not make you get stuck.
Rovanpera should have been given a notional time, just like all the others, because it was due to the conditions of the road. Just like when another car blocks the road or a fence is closed. It's beyond the competitor to do anything about it, so they should not be punished for it.
