In 2023 Rally Estonia Tanak had 5 min time penalty due to engine change before the rally but after the shakedown. I think they cannot disassemble or change the engine. Headgasket and the head don't like without coolant.
Yeah that's what I was thinking, not a lot the team can do other than hope it holds together until the finish if that is the situation.
Well done Neuville.
Such wonderful atmosphere with the team, seeing Neuville and team members at the podium. A finally, well deserved win and mix in the championship!!
