    CORRECTION
    Hyundai need Minimum of 27 points in Australia to secure #WRC manufacturers title.
    It could be achieved with
    * Rally P1 & P8 or better
    * Rally P2 & P5 or better
    # Lower points work if Toyota do not get a P1-P2 finish

    But if Toyota finish P1 & P2 and Hyundai finish P3 & P4 the teams will be tied on points.

    Can we have joint manufacturers champions ?
    What are tie break rules ?

    Considering plane connection from Tallinn, it would take weeks to get 16 000 people from here to there.
    via any hub-airport it could be easily done

    20000€ fine to Citroen Racing following stewards decisions 4 and 5, the R5 using a different intercooler than the homologated, and also using a modified radiator:

    And now just compare to Tidemand... Katsuta simply on another level

    If Toyota P1 and P2 its 25+18=43pts
    if Hyundai P3 and P4 its 15+12=27pts
    Toyota: 362+43=405
    Hyundai: 380+27=407 and Hyundai wins.

    They can be equal on points if Toyota P1 and P3 and Hyundai P4 and P5 or
    Toyota P1, P2. Hyunadi P3, P5 than it will be 405pts. But Toyota win it by bigger amount of 1st places

    These fines for whatever infringment the works teams do are ridiculous. It's nothing else than collecting money. In the past both cars would be excluded.

    I also have problems believing it. It just seems like such a stupid thing to do for tanak. Leaving the fastest car and a undisputed number one status in the team, for a shared number one status and a car that only neuville seems to get working.
