and ignores all the in-car warning systems, well we will have to wait and see what has been verified and reported to the FIA for further action.

I do not have a schedule of FIA standard penalties at hand. However FYI in New Zealand where all our rallies run very close to WRC regulations (but with a few changes because we are such a remote place) the penalty is:
A3R.17
Failure to stop for displayed
Red SOS.
$1000.00
1. Exclusion from Meeting or
Event.
2. Endorsement of
competition licence for
minimum of 12 months.

New Zealand does use the excellent Australian made Rallysafe vehicle tracking system www.rallysafe.com.au which gives instant information back to Rally HQ and from HQ back to the competing cars. It tracks vehicles, records times stages, measures "G" force in accidents, enables competitors to request fire or medical assistance. In all a magic system that for a minimal cost could be in use for all rallies world wide.
