WRC Drivers Caught Speeding at Rally Great Britain

Actually, quite a few drivers (including some big names) were caught speeding by police cameras on public road sections between stages. This highlights one of the little known facts of rallying — the cars actually do drive around to get from stage to stage (remember when Seb Loeb got lost?). And they are expected to follow all traffic rules (in fact, I remember seeing a photo of Richard Burns, sitting in his Peugeot 206, passing some coins to a toll booth operator). The cases won’t go to court til after the rally season ends, but expect the FIA to help crack down on this.
