88. Rallye Automobile de Monte-Carlo 2020

and here is the crux, genuine question and not just arguing for the toss, but if the car is equipped with a device that measures the G force of a crash, would it not have automatically triggered a red flag if a car had an impact measuring 100G?

I'm sure that red flag shouldn't be automated and should rely on manual control of the rally dispatchers. From real experience the G-sensor in the monitoring unit doesn't recognise if the car hits something or just runs into a sharp hole or lands heavy on a jump, and can send false alarm despite the car continues running. If the alarm would launch the automated red flag, most of the stages would be cancelled without reason.
