At first I couldn't understand what is going on there. Are Brits living in medieval times? Speed limits on a RALLY? Whole Europe is laughing at them.
And we don't know if fastest didn't win. I think Evans would make time up in normal circumstances.

Jesus! People are far more outraged about this than they need to be. It's a balls up, they've acknowledged it was a balls up and we'll now have some shitty little chicanes thrown in to more of the quick stages to keep the speed down. I also can't believe how difficult it is for some people to understand that this is a REQUIREMENT of the insurance.
Yes it's a pain that bogey times exist, but it's not exactly a new feature of rallying and is sadly a necessary evil (either we have the average speed limits or we have no rally, it's as simple as that). Okay so other countries do it differently, but the British Rally Championship wouldn't be the BRC if it ran in Finland would it?! So for as long as the BRC is run in Britain it will fall under the MSA banner, which means it has the MSA insurance, which means that bogey times will continue to exist.You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.

Organizers should avoid that issue. Simple.

Elfyn Evans:
Its not been a good weekend as the puncture ruined any chance of the win but second was on the cards if the event had been longer. The bogey times really effected the weekend not allowing us to claw back the time but Fredrik drove brilliantly and deserves the win."

Punctures are a part of rallying, so that's just bad luck. But having a significant portion of the already limited stage mileage not counting is pretty poor. I can think of plenty of other sports were the participants/ media, etc would demand answers and action.
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???
