That's no bloody excuse for those speeds. He should consider himself lucky that the FIA have a constant inability to actually punish drivers in any series in a way that they might learn from.

He's "Luky" in another way too... youngster Sesks taking points off both Habaj & Ingram here.
Lukyanuk now less than 30 pts the behind them despite only 1 in 3 rally finishes.

That's exactly the problem with this kind of behavior. When you have a problem with the car that takes long time to fix then you just have to accept you arrive late in next TC.
FIA should start giving them time penalties for this that are higher than those they would get by getting late to TC. I am not saying they should punish them for doing 55 in 50 zone, but anything over 40% faster should be punished hard.
Problem is they should have started with this already when GPS tracking started a number of years ago.

Well, if anyone on this forum never heard of such stories in rallies before, just raise your hand.
No excuses for what happened, but high speeds on liasions happens all the time in all rallies, and will happen again.
I´ve heard stories much worse than what happened to Luky.
Suddenly one guy have to wear all shame for something going on for ages. And not even organizer made it to keep average speed under limits on liasion..."Reis vas pät pat kaar vas kut"
Tommi Mäkinen, back in the years...

In some way you cannot accept speeding like this. But from the other side, why are organizers not giving a bit more time for road sections? I think the crews (especially later runners) could use some more margin sometimes...

He does have some excuse with the liaison timing.
And it was also clear how stressed he was, saying over and over how much pressure he was under from the team.
After two DNF's he really had to finish, and finish well, to have any chance of the Championship.
I'm sure he has learned his lesson and this extreme speeding wont be repeated.#M-SPORTER

Spot on. Besides, once Luky was previously fined by the rally clerck why are the FIA stewards giving him an extra penalty? Are they trying to make an example just to respond to some negative comments in the social media? If so, that’s a real shame.
Btw, huge congrats to the young Solberg.Last edited by Rally Power; 27th May 2019 at 14:30.
