[WRC] Rally Estonia 15-18 July 2021

[mknight]

In Estonia with everyone pushing it was down to two manus and "also participated".

Speed is one thing, but the repeated water pump failures are something else.

Quite a change from the grand announcements at Gooodwood just before.

Well yes I tried sugar coating it, but like you said, they need to get their cars sorted (& drivers) for next year, what they have now just doesn't make the cut.

In any normal case in here it would have been excursion to jail. I guess they made huge exception to Thierry.

Petter Solberg lost drivers license in Sweden (2010 or so) for much lower speed difference and Patterson had to drive the last Powerstage due to that.

Imo FIA is way too tolerant of this. There are many blatant examples last few years. Ogier in Poland 2017 with 190 on LiveMaps (he also took a roundabout the wrong way on purpose and only got a fine), Hanninen Finland 2017+++

"I got technical problem and have to catch up..."
Technical problem is part of the rally, if driving at legal speeds would result in penalty and they make it up by speeding they should give them the same penalty anyway. With the tracker it should be simple check.

When Solberg lost the license, they were caught by police? FIA probably cannot take your license and police can't use only FIA's tracker as evidence?

I agree that this is a problem and in situations like this time penalties should be applied so you couldn't gain time by not getting road penalties by speeding.

Police yes. He got 24 hours to keep the license and the time was up before PS.

Police can't use tracker as evidence. But in terms of timepenalties afaik FIA can do essentially what they want. As confirmed by all kinds of stewards/coc decisions.

OK, let’s not exaggerate. Last vids do not show anything bad or uncommon.

First one sounds a bit like stagemode?
