Historically they were only done at the finish line to podium cars if at all (and a tyre wear check at the last lunch stop in case you were on canvas and would cop a forced tyre change and penalty if you had no spares left) but seems they are stepping it up a bit. As its a new level of scrutiny, not a bad thing to do it early in the event to some of the contenders and maybe give them a chance to "put it right" and proceed in the event rather than risk life and limb only to get rubbed out at the finish line.

Good to see they are paying more attention to some of the obvious tweaks.
