If you have two drivers doing the very same thing, let's say in Mexico, and one's name is Loeb and the other's is let's say Bulacia. Who has a higher chance that the police let him pass? Now they are even, at least in something.
I wasn’t suggesting they should let the guys drive back on rims or anything as trust me in years gone by I’ve followed some completely unroadworthy cars back, but maybe there could be a mechanism where the last stage of a loop or leg could have a van with joker rims at the end so someone who would otherwise be stranded and out can get back to service. 1 joker per rally per driver.
Just a thought to keep guys in the event for what is an easily solved issue for almost no cost.
