Five Minute Penalty for Arai
Twice world Production Car rally champion Toshi Arai starts Rally Norway with a five minute penalty, because it was necessary to change the engine of his car after Shakedown. Stewards gave permission for the car to be re-scrutineered for marking and sealing the engine just before the start of the first stage, in Oslo on the Thursday evening. The team confirmed the engine failed during Shakedown, for reasons not yet known, but that the Stewards said they must incur a penalty. Only Manufacturers and Manufacturer Team drivers are allowed to change an engine without penalty before the start of a rally, and then only if the circumstances do not fall within the middle of a chain of paired events when the same engines must be used. This concession is not available to other drivers. Arai is again a competitor in the Production Car world championship.
