Following #RallydePortugal, @EsapekkaLappi has been handed a 10-second penalty for hitting and displacing one of three dividing bales at roundabout 3 on SS9 in Porto on Friday evening.

It drops him to 5th overall, but doesn't take away his great finish today!

I think the stewards have really set a messy precedent now with these two super special bale penalties. I mean these are insults to rallying in the first place, let alone when you start penalising drivers for moving them. And then to penalise the drivers one and two days after the incidents respectively - the second clearly due to an enquiry from Hyundai. Embarrassing really.

I guess it's all sort of fallout from the Ogier issue in Mexico but it shouldn't be these mickey mouse elements creating talking points.

As there is a regroup before PS, they have to.

SS19 Montim 2 - 10:35 first car
Regroup in - 10:55
regroup out - 11:55

as we see first on a road for PS was Leferbve with start time 12:18 his regroup out time should be 11:55 and regroup in time - 11:28. So minimum regroup time was 28min

If Ogier was late to check in for SS19 (stage before regroup) for 28 min for example, he should start at 11:27 so new time to arrive to regroup is 11:47.
It's such a long regroup here (1 hrs) and he still was early than first car out regroup, but on rallys where regroup before PS was shorter - it could be a solution for another cheat from Ogier

Very true. Embarrassing.

Well I guess it's Ogier's problem, 28 minutes is a lot.

No point for reducing speeds. Then could shelve WRC cars and set R5 for top category.

That would be good for the sport
