It's a circuit racing rule, 'respect track limits' - and has no place in Rallying. Even the penalty is a circuit racing penalty; 'gaining an advantage' so has to give a place up; so, if you are 5,10,30 secs or even 5mins ahead of the car behind, you have to drop behind them. Utterly ridiculous - if you must get a penalty, name it 5/10 secs.
But, why had this rule been introduced? 'Cutting' had been in Rallying forever....so why change it now?
FiA Jobsworths strike again.

So VW get their 1,2,3 and the Manufacturers Title. Well seeing as Jost loves RallyX, maybe they can go there, and take him with them - and leave the WRC alone.
