I read the rule. It has no specific verbiage about that limit applying based on which class you're racing in. There's a similar regulation for trucks but you're not going to find a workshop on wheels competing in the car class.

I would have interpreted that as only applying to the SxS class.
Either way I'm sure the ASO has reworded it so it applies to SxS's in the car class now.....convenient

I think RG's frustration today came from thinking there would be more dunes and it ended up being some dunes, some roads and a flat out run on the beach which obviously hurt him and the team!
But it has to be a little bit of a love/hate for the ASO. They want to see Stephan win or a factory or Loeb but they have to like the fan interest they get from RG!

Yep. You would think that tapping the US market might be of interest to them, but it just never seems that way.
