Wrc Drivers Reach Agreement With Fia On Swearing During Racing

World championship rally drivers have resolved a dispute with the sports governing body over when they can swear during a competition.

The World Rally Drivers Alliance WoRDA had protested after Hyundais Adrien Fourmaux was fined 10 000 euros 11,375.00, with a further 20 000 suspended, for swearing in a television interview during Rally Sweden in February.

They stayed silent, or spoke only in their own languages, in stage-end interviews at last months Kenya Safari Rally .

Retired eight-times world champion co-driver Julien Ingrassia, representing WoRDA, told the www.dirtfish.com website that a compromise had been reached ahead of this weekends round in the Canary Islands.

The rally will now be divided into two zones: one is a controlled zone, one is an uncontrolled zone, the Frenchman, who raced alongside compatriot Sebastien Ogier, explained.
