Hi! Where are many questions regarding todays stewards decision and the penalty we’ve got. Anyone who ever tried to participate in rally knows what the fast repair between the stages means.
We had to stop on the road section to fix the brakes - the pedal was too soft. The time for liason was pretty small, as the average speed was higher then 60kmh including refuel, tire marking and multiple inhabited areas, with 50kmh speed limit. If you have no repairs or no tire change, when you just hardly arrive on time. We’ve checked that on the second loop. So we spend 15 minutes to fix the brakes and had to keep average well over 100kmh to be on schedule. In a rush we have exceeded in several points excessively and it was measures by gps. So we got penalty. We are really sorry for this situation, but the time allowed was not enough even for tire change. It was sunday morning with no traffic so we increased our speed. I understand that we broke the speed limits, but it is really hard to be under pressure when you can loose the position and the team relies on you.
