Wrc Rally Argentina 2011

There was no bulletin for that and that was also the main reason why the organizer was penalized.

No. There was a bulletin. The picture in MTV3's page is not a picture about a roadbook, but a picture about the addendum of the bulletin. Also here: http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._2887843_n.jpg

All the official bulletins are also on the Rally Argentina website and there's nothing for that junction.

So just going back a little bit:

First, the roadbook was wrong, so organizers sent the bulletin and Then put some tape blocking the place, this stays like that for the first run, and on the second run Mr Bartoz, looking at the original roadbook (I guess), gets off the chopper and removes the tape. Before the second run the Citroens agree to go the short way as shown (or at least allowed) in the original roadbook and without the tape they run free through that place, the fords follow the advice of the bulletin and go the long way, loose a few seconds, and later on Mikko looses the rally because of that. right ot wrong?

So it was a BIG missunderstanding?? so big even the FIA delegate got confused? and factory drivers did different things??

[N.O.T]

May be because they sticked to the rule that says, you have to follow the roadbook?

but there was a bulletin.....and thats why bartoz removed the tape.

Maybe it'all about winners are winners and loosers are loosers. M.Wilson is good businessman but stupid as a sport boss leaded by the money not success.

Further clarification for the road book anomaly.

In the original road book, there are no strikethroughs "//" on page 55, box 18.

But there's been an official bulletin, which all competitors have received. It had addendum which was new roadbook page 55 - surprise surprise - with strikethroughs in the box 18.

The part of original roadbook is shown in Martin Holmes article in http://mag.gpweek.com/ page 43, too.

This is a stupid situation that only happened because the FIA delegate decided to do something, and is stupid because FIA penalized... the organizers!

On the first run there were no problems, so why to change to the second run.

Aparently, the roadbook "mistake" was under control until the FIA delegate put the hands on the situation.

And ok, Citroen won the rally here. Not a honest win IMO.

Citroen didn't do anything wrong
