Shakedown, and we're back in business! OK hand The car is fixed and we've been able to do some runs through the stage!
I suggest you check the entry list and correct yours ;)Quote:

Latest entrylist with 23 FIA legal cars (+15 NAT = 38 Totally)
so 10/23 will get WRC point(s)
Pretty likely WRC cars can retire for 1-2 stages and still finish in top 10.

how the organization will avoid at such stages some ''big cuts''?
Yeah not surprised. Kenya has a lot to learn , but I'm sure with time they will get there
Very excited for this rally, even though it's not as long as it used to be, it will still be something else and a very tough challenge. The art of speed vs reliability will matter most on this one.
As long as you go through the red arrows i guess they will be more lenient here than elsewhereQuote:

I guess that's one of the cars that didn't make it through scrutineering so they had to create their own event for them?
In a way yes, but it wouldn't work much when it's raining or snowing.Quote:

When you have a tent, usually with tightly parked trailers/lorries next to it the looks are not much different than a modular "building". You could make a rule that forbids multiple-level buildings, but not sure if that really changes much.
Zasada is ready!

I do not really get it this entry list amendments. Majority of cars were in NAT class anyway. Part of them stayed in WRC rally but still cannot take points. And the rest was "exluded" and put into new rally, being in same NAT class. Moreover scorers and non-scorers in WRC rally are mixed...Quote:

Tundo's Polo made it through scrutineering and starts the WRC event. It'll be the second car into the stage today.Quote:

Even NAT category cars in a WRC round have to comply with FIA AppJ Safety Regs as applied by the WRC Technical Delegate. Some examples that excluded teams maybe wouldn't want to/couldn't fix in time for re-inspection are rollcage welding (esp. gaps where joint is not easily seen), inadequate firewalls and driving suits with badges sewn through all three layers.Quote:

According to WRC Sporting Reg 12.3.1 National Car competitors cannot score points.Quote:

I'd say no. Similar to 2017 Australia where two national cars finished in top 10 yet Rovanperä 12th o/a got his first championship point.Quote:

Tyres for SS1
Here's what the WRC runners have chosen for the rally's opener:
Solberg/Sordo/Tänak/Neuville:
4x hard compound, 1x soft compound
Ogier/Katsuta/Evans/Bertelli/Rovanperä:
1x hard compound, 4x soft compound
Greensmith/Fourmaux:
5x hard compound
Did the old guy finish the stage ?
Yes, at 5m 11,2secsQuote:
