    Seems that just before the tree stump,must be plenty of gravel that pushes the car up = smoothes the violence of hit.Cant explain it better with my bad English.
    Anyway Mikelsen was extreme lucky.If this tree stump wasnt there,he was straight to the trees with co driver door.

    It has been confirmed that Seb Ogier was caught speeding. He was caught while doing 120-130km/h on a 89km/h road section.
    His license will be taken from him but he will still be able to continue the rally. http://www.svt.se/sport/motorsport/o...r-fortkorning/

    I don't know but I think any driver that is caught speeding so much that they have their drivers license taken should also receive some
    sort of in-rally penalty. Maybe a 1-2 minute time penalty or something like that. Something that that makes drivers think twice before speeding.

    As it is now, they can do it without risk.

    one year P. Solberg was not allowed to drive at PS, but I don't remember the reason.

    Was it Citroen Petter was supposed to drive for, as Colin Clarke was talking about on the radio today, or some other manufacturer?

    This is what is stated in 2016 WRC sporting regulations ;

    20.3 EXCESSIVE SPEED DURING THE RALLY
    20.3.1 Speeding during a rally as the first traffic infringement will incur a fine applied by the clerk of the course as follows:
    Per km per hour over the speed limit:
    All drivers €25
    20.3.2 The amount of the fine will be unaltered by any fine imposed by the police.

    20.4 TRAFFIC LAWS
    20.4.1 Throughout the rally, both crew members must have a valid driving licence and must observe the national traffic laws.
    20.4.2 In the case of an infringement of the traffic laws committed by a crew participating in the rally, the police officers or officials having noted the infringement must inform the offender thereof, in the same way as for normal road users.
    20.4.3 Should the police or the officials decide against stopping the driver in the wrong, they may nevertheless request the application of any penalties set out in the supplementary regulations of the rally, subject to the following:
    - that the notification of the infringement is made through official channels and in writing, before the posting of the provisional final classification
    - that the statements are sufficiently detailed for the identity of the offending driver to be established beyond all doubt, and that the place and time of the offence are precise
    - that the facts are not open to various interpretations.

    20.4.4 For the first infringement other than speeding: a penalty will be applied by the Stewards.
    20.4.5 For the second infringement: a 5-minute time penalty.
    20.4.6 For the third infringement: exclusion applied only by the Stewards.

    I understand perfectly and it makes sense to me too... Also, if the force came across the wheel exactly where the drive shaft connects through the hub, the hub and A-arms etc etc would take up the force.

    About Ogier, he should definitely be penalised also in the rally! Is Julien supposed to do the transport stages? And for sure this should have consequenses in the event. Time penalty at least!
