How about to aknowledge that it's up to the competitors to finish the event?
Look, I don’t think we should return to the days of flying service and all that, cars are generally much more reliable and that would be a retrograde step.
But for the singular reason that it is illegal to drive the liaison with no tyre on a wheel, I think an effort could be made to provide a joker wheel/tyre once in an event after only the last stage of a leg or loop, to keep cars in rallies. It’s not a mechanical thing, it’s a legality thing in that the car could complete the road section as did Tanak today, but it was deemed that he shouldn’t have.
As a spectator it really pisses me off that one of the guys we are here to watch, won’t be on the stages tomorrow for such a shitty reason.
I accept not everyone will think the same as me, but I want to see as many good cars as often as possible....and from a competitive stand point that car will have been penalised on the SS anyway.
