The charge was revealed at 9: 15 regional time on Tuesday, prior to the start of the 3rd phase near Al Qaisumah.
According to a main declaration by the stewards, the Qatari chauffeur got to the bivouac on Monday with FIA’s black box – which records all the efficiency information of each automobile and is provided by Magnetti Marelli – detached to his Toyota Hilux T1 vehicle.
This remains in breach of guideline 13.1.2 of the FIA World Rally Raid Sporting Regulations, which mentions that this information collection system is necessary for “all T1 automobiles with a turbo fuel engine (…) and for all T1 lorries with a turbo diesel motor whose motorists are FIA concern chauffeurs”.
It was Toyota that informed the FIA technical delegate after understanding the black box was not linked to the automobile.
The technical delegate handed down the matters to the stewards who, after listening to the group’s representative Jean-Marc Fortin (Overdrive), chose to enforce a charge of EUR5,000 to be paid within 48 hours. In addition, it likewise chose to enforce a suspended disqualification from the 2022 Dakar Rally in case of a repeat of a comparable offense in the next 10 days.
In the very same declaration, Toyota’s Fortin described that it a mistake on the group’s part that caused the fine.
” It was an easy error by our mechanics,” he stated. “They simply forgot to link the information logger to the battery. We detach the information logger every night from the battery for security factors. I will personally inspect all next days that the information logger is correctly linked.”
The repercussion of this oversight is that the instrument did not sign up any information throughout the entire of phase 2, so “there is no other way to inspect if the Turbo Boost pressure has actually surpassed the worths specified in the appendix VIII of the 2022 CCR Sporting Regulation.”
According to the stewards, this kind of violation, even if it was not deliberate, suggests a disqualification “according to the jurisprudence in the past.”
However, they think about that “remarkable scenarios exist in today case, insofar as the Rally Dakar includes 12 competitors days and the violation was found in the 2nd leg and the vehicle remained in conformity in the very first leg.”
” A disqualification from the whole competitors does thus not appear to be proportional, specifically as the rival has actually validated to correct the issue without delay so that his cars and truck will adhere to the guidelines for the following 10 competitors days,” it stated.
Al-Attiyah holds a nine-minute lead over Bahrain Raid Xtreme’s Sebastien Loeb entering into Stage 3.
