Off course Citroen could have known this for a month or two and tried to get them excluded from Finland after the rally, that is actually quite likely. I mean why would they tell them long time before so they could adopt the car without any risk?
Does not change the facts though, the issue is there and it is real. It's not like Citroen "made it up".Last edited by mknight; 6th August 2019 at 16:31.

So what you try to tell is that citroen and matton, who is not working for Citroën anymore, have deliberately allowed toyota to use a illegal rear wing for 2,5 year. Only so they could report it in the case they would one day have ogier hired and the title is slipping from his hands?
The only thing we can ask ourself is why the fia has allowed toyota to use an illegal part.

This can't be true. Ofcourse its Toyota, they are used to cheating. This is wrong for three other teams, not fair competition and not real championship. Very sorry for mr Tanak.

Maybe Ogier just couldnt work out how else Tanak could be so much faster than him.

If the car doesn't fit the regulations it's perfectly ok to say that no matter what is homologated. The one who points such thing out is not the one to blame.
Anyway the problem lies usually in bad work in writing the rules. There shall be no amguity.Last edited by Mirek; 6th August 2019 at 18:21.

Wet conditions. Portuguese Autosport brought something to the table... the WRC2 crews are using a WRC spec tyre that is harder than the spec Meeke and other CPR runners are using.
