Rally D'Italia Sardegna 2014

I remember that last rally Fuchs retired on the last stage of the Day and he got only 5 minutes penalty. Someone told that this is new rule and now it is only 5 minutes for each missed stage. Today I am looking the final leaderboard and I can see that Gilbert and Kruuda have both got 10 minutes penalty for not finishing the last stage. Is the rule changed back?.. was there such a new rule in reality? brr...

Yeah.. on the other hand.. Mikkelsen is driving with the tank:

Look at the end of video and stop it on the 21st or 22nd second...this car is tank!

Whoa, probably VW took some precautions after Mexico and strenghtened it.

I think it was 5 mins if the last is super special, but there was some change I remember as well

In my opinion it's not that bad. It's first time I hear about turbo problem in Fiesta R5 and also about diff problems. And I follow those cars quite closely.
Boot opening, puncture or intercom problems are not problems related to type of the car in my opinion.
Powersteering is a problem in Fiesta, that's true.

There was a fair amount of problems with all R5 cars around. With Fiesta I recall mainly problems with overheating and electric glitches (quite frequent). With Pugs it's mainly the well known story with overheating. Obviously the reliability of them is worse than of S2000 cars. Especially in WRC events the reliability record of R5 cars has been far from impressive so far.

Oh that wasn't a new rule. Only a mistake done by FIA when they wrote the regulation ... How stupid they are...
