it's stupid yes.. had to struggle 1.5 hours thru traffic with damaged car, made it there and then.. no , you can't continue..

The rule was created to give everyone fair and straight conditions and to prevent safety incidents and troubles with local police. Before it was one big mess. Someone could finish (Loeb in Mexico), someone else was stopped by police (Mäkinen in Wales), some drove with co-drivers sitting in the side windows, on the bonnet etc. Now everyone knows, Tänak of course as well.

agree, what I meant was that he should have been stopped and retired before going to traffic..

[denkimi]

He should have driven it on the rim then, and only change it right before entering service or being stopped by the police.

Still strange exclusion if you read the rule book: 20.1.5 On a road section that is a public road and at the start of a stage, a competition car may only be
driven on four freely rotating wheels and tyres. Any car not complying with this article will be considered as
retired as per WRC Art. 46. An additional penalty may be imposed by the stewards. Ott still had some rubber left...

[Rallyper]

Equal to what? If Tänak retired it means the rubber didn't stay on the rim. That is automatic retirement per rules (if stewards don't pretend blindness like with Solberg in Hungary).



Such has been the rule for at least a decade now. He's far from being the first one.

Equal meaning some decision has to come for Ogier as well. If he gets out of it without penalty it´s NOT equal. See what I mean?

what is strange there?
and continuing on rim and changing before service is also not allowed.

Contrasting morning for Wydaeghe: Lost in his notes, then a first scratch in the WRC

Sometimes it goes well - a first scratch in the WRC in SS10 - sometimes it goes less well - he got lost in his notes in SS9 -, but Thierry Neuville's co-driver is in the midst of learning.

"I'm pretty happy with our second special, but in today's first special I was not in a good pace, and that frustrates me," Martijn Wydaeghe admitted at WRC All Live. We are here to be efficient, and I want to be the best possible. And in the second part of this stage, there were a lot of corrections in my notes, and I got a little lost. I apologize to Thierry for that! C ' was better in the second special, and a scratch, it's always nice. This week, I'm living at 150 km / h. It's a big challenge for me, and I'm learning a lot every day. "

and rules came when they drove without any wheel or supsension mounted or hanging. That´s why "rotating" is written I reccon.

Honestly, you can not call that a tyre, can you?
