Yeah, that's it. Also, printed road books and other documents are usable as they are for the remaining stages.
Supplementary regulations says:
Quote:
7.2 STUDDED TYRES FOR RECONNAISSANCE
Studded tyres may be used during reconnaissance. They must be in conformity with the
following regulations (see also Appendix 7):
• The studs shall be solid, cylindrical and flatcut
• The length of the stud is limited to 15 millimeters
• The weight of the stud is limited to 2,5 grams
• The maximum overhang is limited to 2,0 millimetres
• The studs must be mounted into the tyre from the outside
• The number of studs must not exceed 250 per tyre
• The body of the stud must be solid
Any infringement to this rule will be reported to the Stewards, who will consider a penalty
according to the International Sporting Code Art. 12.
Why they just allow gravel tires (most fitted) on those roads which dont have any snow. Some pics looked like there is total "summer" gravel roads. Why cannot make this half gravel rally?? dont need to cancel all the stages. Dont think that would be too hard for organisers (FIA). They had now more than two weeks time to solve this problem. At least As long as they cannot move this rally to northern Sweden. just wondering...
