Same spot right?

Doesn't seem so

[Rallyper]

But still just a cut, if not the same spot

Should be penaltized too I guess. Not caught in-time?

Meeke needs to hone his SSS skills. Shit, he has lost roughly 10s on 6km's

The fact it happened on live tv likely screwed Kris , i'm just wondering is there anyone going through all the onboards checking no one goes off the track so they can be penalised , as the decision stated the stewards have become aware !!!

[satnav]

Remember when Neuville went off in Germany last year and he cut over 100 metres and didn't get a penalty? In Poland Mikkelsen got just 10s. Consistency of FIA...

In Poland Mikkelsen only got a Fine and a warning ......http://www.rajdpolski.pl/pliki/zawod...sion_no._5.pdf
So no real consistency at all......

What bloody next? This is ridiculous.

Significant deviation must be much more than that. For example shortcuts gaining roadmileage. This is just normal cutting which happens to be normal where ever it´s possible.

I am not a steward but I would have made the same decision. This is not off-road rallying, so competitor must stay on the road. Off course, organisers could place hay bales on every such place but it's simpler for everyone if that's not needed.

Where have you been? A rallydriver cuts everywhere he can, but not deviates from road. It´s a huge difference. Have you never seen such cuts before?

[N.O.T]

the decision is ridiculous... i think a penalty of 10 seconds would suffice and would be fair. Although i think that he could also get away with it and none would say anything.
