In IRC era it was not special rule for RMC, it was allowed for everyone. After return to WRC they allowed "gravel cars" only for WRC drivers, but after big push from all others, they found that for safety reasons they will allow it also for other crews (surprisingly good decision by FIA). So this year, gravel crews were allowed for each crew.
