Before taking charge of Hail, Tiphanie Isnard, Team Principal of Dacia, agreed to detail the reasons for the appeal filed the previous evening. “The amount of the roll bar on Fabian’s side (Lurquin, the co-pilot) was distorted. I specify that it is deformed and not cracked, she begins. This is why the FIA deemed the car no longer safe. We did not have enough time to defend our point of view since they left our tent at 7:30 p.m. and we were summoned at 8:45 p.m., which did not give us the opportunity to make our calculations. We therefore feel that we need to defend our point of view and defend the fact that, according to our calculations, the car still appears safe. We are waiting for nothing more than to be able to speak out so that this does not happen again and that we are given the opportunity, as the manufacturer of our chassis and responsible person, to say that our car is safe. We will never fault our crews. We just want to explain. »
