21.2 AMENDMENTS ON THE ENTRY FORM
A competitor may freely replace the car declared on the entry form with another from the same group and the same class, up to the moment of scrutineering.


Scrutineering was held yesterday so if Neuville's car is not declared OK to start, he's out.

Thanks J - but that is open to interpretation - if there is no mention of the chassis number or national registration number on the form then there is no change of car, it's still a scruiteneered Hyundai i20 WRC. As I read it, if say Bouffier had dinged his Fiesta on the Monte tests, beyond repair, a week before scruitineering and was unable to obtain another Fiesta he could change the entry to any other A8 car he could find, say a DS3.
As to why Hyundai might want to do that, despite the quality of the other team members - Neuville may just have a contract clause that guarantees him a start whenever possible.
Anyone know the level of detail on the entry form?
