LAMIA, Greece (AFP) - The sport of rallying moved to avoid the debacle of last weekend's United States Formula One Grand Prix in Indianapolis with four drivers escaping being excluded from the Acropolis Rally.
Subaru's Petter Solberg, Chris Atkinson and Stephane Sarrazin and Mitsubishi's Gigi Galli received heavy fines after their cars were found to be under the minimum weight limit during the opening super special of the eighth round of the world championship series.
All were under the minimum limit of 1230 kg, with Solberg's car the biggest culprit at 12kg lighter after being weighed in on Thursday night.
Ford chief Malcolm Wilson demanded: "The cars have to be excluded."
But following the scandal of the US Grand Prix, rally bosses opted not to exclude the offending teams.
Instead hefty fines were handed out with Sarrazin and Galli being ordered to pay 10,000 euros (12,000 dollars), Atkinson 20,000 euros and Solberg 30,000 euros.
"After what happened at Indianapolis, we couldn't exclude four cars from the race," explained German race official Hans-Christoph Mehmel.
The ruling has, however, left a cloud over the rally, especially for the Peugeot team of former world champion Marcus Gronholm who paid dearly for smaller offences in the past.
Gronholm was stripped of his first victory in a 307 at last year's Rally of Cyprus after it was discovered the fans on his water pump were made of plastic instead of brass.
And three years ago in Argentina when the team were using the 206, Peugeot missed out on a double, foregoing the constructors' title and the race after Gronholm, who had won, was excluded because it was ruled that a team member had given him some advice on how to get his car started again near the end of the stage.
A few hours later, Britain's Richard Burns was thrown off the race after a steering wheel that was ruled to be 20 grammes too light.
Loeb in 2002 Monte-Carlo had also to suffer from the intransigence of the inspectors when he had been private of his first victory in WRC for a 2 minutes penalty following an error of tires to go simply from the park of assistance to the parc fermé, that is to say 200 meters. And which finally won? Tommi Makinen on...Subaru.
On the other hand in 2003, Petter Solberg in Finland already confronted with a problem of weight, had been exonerated of any fault. The inspectors charging the lightness of Impreza to... "a failing scales". And you know the end of this season.
Amid complaints that Subaru have become untouchable with the Japanese team's chief David Richards controlling the commercials rights for the rally world championship, a crisis meeeting was held Friday morning with Jean-Pierre Nicolas (Peugeot), Guy Frequelin (Citroen) and Malcolm Wilson (Ford) attending, alongside representatives from Skoda.
"You understand now why we're leaving at the end of the year," complained Nicolas, with French stables Peugeot and Citroen having already announced they will end their involvement in the world rally championship at the end of 2005.
