It's very unusual to impose a time penalty for a technical irregularity. I cannot recall another time when a penalty other than exclusion has been issued. FFS Carlos Sainz was excluded from Rally Aus for stopping his car in a control zone! What a crock of shit saying it was an admin error! I don't know if they currently use it, but they were using a Kinetic sway bar link in the past, potential for massive gains in that area, don't let the frogs BS their way into you thinking they weren't cheating.
