Ah... Paris in ze spring...

[DonJippo]

Hmmm...he had good pace in Monte...

[Tom206wrc]

No use creating the thread for that there's already discussion in the national championships thread... :mark:

[Shrike]

I also wonder how many passes he did in Monte...

[Karukera]

Recent final decision but old news for people following the case. JM knew where it would eventually end before he started MC.

More a bureaucracy issue than illegal recce.

As for his pace in MC, he's as suspicious as the Finns on NORF or as anyone rallying on his home soil. :s tare:

[Shrike]

What Finns or other local drivers had thier titles stripped for cheating?

[jonkka]

Elsewhere cheaters have been caught out before they got the title...

In all fairness, illegal practice has been a problem everywhere in the past, some countries just have acted swifter upon it than others.

[Shrike]

It is a shame they waited so long. One would think with the advantage of being local a driver would not need to take more passes than allowed to win. That is the part I don't understand.

I suppose you could say Mr Cuoq has been a c**k
