The simple fact is that this rule is ignored for good reason - as it is in 99% violated without intention of cheating. The rule exists solely because of road sections and I believe that in the past it was applied only if traffic police complained.
Yes, yes Mirek : all other drivers drove tarmac stage with gravel tyres with enough profile (you could not worn out them on so short gravel stages), just Umberto was there with very worn tyres, almost slicks ! You do not need to be a scientist to see that something was wrong. I do not say Umby& team were cheating-it must be proven ! But the fact is-tyres were totaly worn out (there is a nice photo on rallylink.it). Until Alpi Orientali at the end of August the court has to make a decission. I belive in their fair decission, until then I wish to Umby, Ucci, Basso & Co a pleasant holidays.
P.S. nobody mentioned Cempedelli-he was very very fast on the second day. Nice...
