Would be fair to his competitors to let him be when he clearly had non-homologated turbo?

    About Burri... We don't know what actually happend and the history teach us not to believe in everything what team managers say. Anyway it's normal that FIA checks only selected cars, they simply can not check everyone.
    It seems we're lost in...communication! I agree with you and dimvii! 'This' was used as 'The whole situation' sucks!

    Off course Rossetti must be excluded, but as I pointed it's very rare to see a single-make car 100% legal when officials get into a meticulous inspection and it makes equal sense to open Rox's car (as the Cup overall winner) as Burri's car; after all, Burri it's not an 'everyone', he was the winner of the final (and most important) round of this Clio R3T Trophy.

    Was Burri's car also fully inspected? A reliable answer to this question can make a big difference to understand this mess.

    Btw, French and Italians are both masters in this sort of dubious situations:

Ogier had only a moment or 2 the whole rally, while with Meeke there were bigger offs/spins.
    I think You need to see this in another perspective, in regards to risk. Jari Matti Latvia also drivers a Volkswagen, drove slower than Meeke, but with a lot higher risk. Mikkelsen also had some moments, and especially one huge one that could have ended his rally. Its more about driving technique than the difference in cars.
    Meeke drove a great rally, and he is adjusting his driving technique, but still has a little way to go.

    I read my post in Yours, but I'm not speaking about Latvala & Mikkelsen, so may be difference in cars is negligible indeed.
