Still 10 points more than what would be fair…
Many can find that penalties must be fully applied, but we should remember often how hard drivers fight for an extra point on a rally and how unfair is to wipe away that brilliant effort for some administrative reason or a minor sport fault. A fine and a suspended penalty would be enough in such cases.

Yep, this rally doesn’t seem to be the best one to represent Italy at the ERC, but an event in Italy (and one in France, btw) should be part of it. Strong local entries are a plus for the series.
