#FIAERC It took the stewards 4 hours to give @Craig_Breen a 2 minute penalty for a tyre infringement. Drops to 2nd in Valais, Lukyanuk wins.

what kind of infringement?

What happend to Delecour and Štajf?

Both retired at the end of the rally after technical problems with their cars.

Autosport.pt reports that he used 20 tyres instead of the mandatory 18 previously marked by stewards. Sos, when it's not Breen doing the damage, it's the team... Long gone the times of Kronos Peugeot being the rulers in semi-oficial french cars...

Always hate to see things decided in a steward's office afterwards like this.

Did Peugeot/Sainteloc screw things up AGAIN?

[Fast Eddie WRC]

Strange no confirmation on the ERC website front page or their Twitter feed ...
