Of course it is not legal. Also, is it legal to drive a car with a roll-cage, a car with high emmissions, a car without MOT tyres, a car with racing seat belts? Simple answer, yes or no?
In my country all the above are illegal. So, let's do rallying without roll-cages, with low emmissions, only with MOT tyres and with MOT approved seat belts. Agree?
EDIT. Has anyone of you driven on FIA tarmac tyres with heavy rain on a liaison section? I have done it and I can assure you it is safer to drive with three DOT tyres and one rim. Should we ban FIA tyres and use only with DOT?

Still somehow police stops only cars with 3 wheels. In Estonia rally cars have special plates and are road legal, but driving on 3 wheels is not legal.
So, rally cars - OK (if they meet the tech standards and have passed inspection) ; driving with 3 wheels or less - not OK (for a reason, technically not in a condition).
Or are you implying that now all of a sudden driving on 3 wheels is road legal because we have fewer starters in wrc?

I am only saying what I said regarding the hypocricy of the whole matter and what I said about taking into consideration the essence of the sport in every "keeping up with formalities". No implication is made because of fewer starters. Just these two things.
P.S. Honestly, I prefer to drive on a rim than driving in heavy rain on FIA tarmac tyres. The experience is still making me feel terror. So, does this mean that we should use only DOT tyres? Of course not.

I agree with AnttiL, Katsuta did very good tbh and above all had quite consistent performance. Loubet had good stage times only when with road advantage and else he was terrible, usually behind 3-4 Rally2 cars on the stages. Hyundai (especially the older one) is a weird car though, and again as mention he has a hybrid spec never run by the team before (at least in aero).
Sordo was kinda mediocre, specially compared with Monza. Also said he wanted to fight for win before start...
Rovanpera I dunno, was expecting a bit more consistency. Almost seemed he had more consistency last year here, this year it was a bit up and down.
Tanak extremely up and down, tricky Hyundai setup?

Btw. O. Solbegs stuck on the side of the road is shown on Gryazins onboard at 4:15 and it's really weird place tbh.
Doesn't look very slippery there at all and doesn't look like a hard corner, must have somehow lost it on braking with massive push.

Not just you T16 but all the people who are debating here for adding spare tires at the end of the stage, it's gone for pages so it must be a huge issue
I would understand it better if we would see retirements because of this issue every third rally or something. Now it's apparently the first time it happens in 10 years and according to many users on this forum, it instantly needs a big change to the overall rules of rallying.

Keith Cronin just took a huge 18.2 sec out of both Devine & Edwards on SS4 ! Edwards says that's mental and Keith is a special talent.
