Caracteristics of the Rally

We apologize for all these changes in comparison to the award ceremony. However they must be published
(due to their impact on the ranking from the TGE).
Corrective measures are in preparation in order to avoid a similar situation in the future (first meeting calendar week 19).
(General information: this year a total amount of 207 parameters had to be captured for each car and treated in order to obtain
the final ranking!)
