No. Because of widespread fires around Greece, competitors are discouraged from doing recce during this time of very high temperatures with a big chance of forest fires.

Competitors shouldn’t be doing recce now anyway. Maybe other team members.

**macebig** · 5th August 2021, 13:09

Nobody can stop local crews from running recce anytime, as long as they are careful to avoid traffic code injuctions.

Rules should stop them. You cannot be on the route of WRC round...

**denkimi** · 5th August 2021, 16:05

it's nearly impossible to stop that, especially so long before the rally.

this is greece not some civilised western country... how do you expect the local crews to be 5 mins slower than their foreign competitors instead of 10 mins ?

cheating in greece is common practice... it was so common in local rallies that the greek motorsport association changed the rules a few years back and allowed unlimited passes through the stages.

Nice to see Athanassoulas back with such a good car!

He is also the first privateer to drive the new Hyundai.
