Dakar's first sanction: because of career clothing
Jeda.- The days before the entire Dakar are days of verifications, tests and a lot of concern so that everything worked on over the last 11 months is ready and ready for the big event. The veteran French driver Christian Lavieille, who is competing in his 19th round in the toughest rally in the world, has become the first to be penalized in the 44th edition.
During the technical and administrative checks on Thursday, December 30, the FIA stewards found that both Lavieille and his co-driver, Johnny Aubert, former enduro world champion who was seriously injured in the 2020 Dakar (6th in 2018) , presented flame retardant garments that did not meet the new FIA safety standard.
As established in article 48.1 of the sports regulations of the FIA World Rally Raid Championship for 2022, the members of a vehicle must wear “approved helmets, all clothing and safety equipment in accordance with Appendix L Chapter III and have their seat belts properly adjusted.
Appendix L Chapter III dictates that racing suits and gloves (optional for co-drivers), long underwear, balaclava, socks and footwear approved by the FIA standard must be worn.
The statement issued by the Dakar stewards on Thursday afternoon ensures that the French driver “explained that he received the information from ASO (organizer) that his racing suit should have complied with the new FIA standard, but that nothing more was specified about the rest of the garments.”
Thus, they have been imposed a €1,000 fine that is suspended as long as they do not commit the same offense again during the 2022 FIA World Rally Raid season. The stewards did not consider the incident as "serious", since the characteristics of the flame retardant clothing of Lavieille and his co-driver "offer reasonably reasonable protection" and comply with the standard for FIA non-priority drivers (although Laiveille does appear on the list). priority list).
In addition, they consider that, since the final regulations were not published until mid-December, "it was probably difficult for them to obtain the necessary equipment, especially during the Christmas holidays."
