I don't think that 5 minutes is too much for driving off while a technical official is inspecting the car - it's less than the penalty for not stopping at a time control.
That is not true. 5 min penalty for changing the engine after scrutineering is gone. Rally1 cars also can change engine during the rally without penalty...
