That would only create heaps of new problems. Those cars would have to get there somehow and to be parked somewhere. Especially in Monte Carlo this is nonsense. Just remember where Ogier was changing wheel today behind the stop control - he nearly blocked the liaison by one parked car.
Monte.


Look everyone knows the rules as they stand, my point is that it is stupid for a car to have to retire or superrally literally for the sake of a tyre to drive the liaison at the end of a loop/leg. We don’t need loads of vans, just one van with one tyre/wheel for each competitor at the end of the last stage of leg/loop. They can use it only once in the rally, and then it’s gone, and can only be used to drive that one liaison.
I think for everyone but hardliners who think out is out, this would be beneficial.
Of course people will say what about a radiator or whatever, but we are talking about a wheel/tyre not a service van. This issue is easily fixed and for tiny cost, keeps cars in rallies and would be better for WRC TV/promoter/spectators/competitors....
