Wait, so theoretically a driver could actually win a rally despite crashing out early? I wouldn't even consider it except for Petter making up what, 3:45 of his 5:45 in penalties earlier this year?
Theoretically yes... but it's pretty improbable. The good news is that manufactureres will be able to use the rest of the rally for testing, and sponsors will get a bit more coverage.
