A win but nothing more and that was probably all they wanted.

Skoda has plenty of orders already according to Dirtfish.

But there is black shadow on this win. Mikkelsen should be excluded for early arrival to TC 10B. And 200 euro cash penalty for not following the roadbook (missed refuel zone and tyre marking zone) is also a joke...

Since when are competitors excluded for arriving early at TC? Normally that's a penalty.

19 mins early...

19 mins early...

So why should that be exclusion and not 19 min penalty?

In the itenary TC10B has "early check-in" (allowed) both in German and English.

Why should he be excluded again?

In regional championship, maximum permitted lateness is 15 min.

Because in supplementary regulations and itinerary in supplementary regulations it is not allowed... And any similar change must be made by bulletin...

The supplementary regulations on Sportity don't have annexes (which include itinerary).

However, the itinerary that is on Sportity has the early check in allowed. It is listed as comming from 20.10. EDIT: That itinerary says "Annex 1" on top so it looks like part of Sporting Regulations".

What specific procedures are needed for that one to be valid I have no idea, but if anything it is an organizer mess.

Where does it say that lateness is the same as "as earliness" in the regulations? Only mention is that being early does not reduce the lateness. (i.e. being early in one tc doesn't mean you can exceed lateness on next).
