Yes, but now we are talking about that strange decision of stewards. They are writing there that time card was handed over in a regroup. Which is a lie. It was handed over before regroup, before time control...

I dont agree with last part of your sentece. When regulations talks about time card, they are writing about giving it in time control (start, stop). There is nothing what should be done meanwhile. Of course, if nobody brought that time card to them and Ogier should be in time control without time card, it is very simple - he cannot continue. But forgetting the card in previous TC and bringing it by another driver is different story.
it's completely Ogier problems how return a timecard, but... somebody at stage-end TC told to Tanak to deliver Ogier time-card.
It will be clearly that Ogier by car or foot goes back and took time-card back. But it cause a some TC late penalty. But now it must be an exclusion
You can't drive back to TC. That's not allowed.
Great rally, good fight even in the last day, that's something very rare.
About Ogier I don't think he should get a penalty, he didn't break any rules...
Don`t be stupid and advocate rallying on paper. We have an interetsing championship in our hands, all of them, especially no. 1 and 2. gave us a hell of a fight, wasteing lots of effort, money and risking their lives. 10k itself is quite absurd for something not even in the regulations and looks more like blackmailing, but it is what it is..
Not always correct times in time cards... But it is important document for the crew to know correctly time of last TC/start and liaison time to next TC.
Not everything hi-tech or digital is absolute win. And for example, we have few crews here in Czech who are not able to fill the entry form electronically and are still sending it hand-written by mail. Of course, usually older people...
