    Where do you set the limit?

    Do you allow a new engine and a new gearbox on every day of every event?

    Using your figures that would be €1.5 million in engines and gearboxes every event!

    Answer: NO

    WRC Regulations

    17.1.1 Each Manufacturer must use no more than 2 engines per car
    name per season (see also Art.17.2.2 and Art. 17.2.3).

    But

    17.2.3 When a car does not finish the Power Stage, an extra engine
    per car name may be allowed without incurring a penalty. No
    more than one extra engine per car name and per season may
    be sealed without incurring any penalty.
    When an extra engine is used, the engine which was fitted on
    a retired car (car name) may not be used any further during
    the season (see Art. 17.1.4).

    If Tanak does not finish Sunday they can use a new engine replacing on of these two damaged
    Three gears are enough!

    Aren't engines linked with certain chassis numbers?
