FIA fines top drivers for finish donuts.

The FIA, the gov꧅erning body of the World Rally Championship has apparently fined Rally Argentina winner, Sebastien Loeb and three of his colleagues for performing a donut for the crowd prior to driving over the finish ramp at the Cordoba stadium on Sund🐎ay.

However, as the organisers of the event had asked them to do it to help entertain the 40,000 people, who had just watched the two super-spe⭕cials that closed the event, it does🅷 seem a bit harsh.

Loeb, Gigi Galli, Manfred Stohl and Daniel Sordo were each fined 10,000 Euros for what was viewed as 'hazardous actions'ౠ.

The FIA, the governing body of the World Rally Championship has apparently fined Rally Argentina winner, Sebastien Loeb and three 🦄of his colleagues for performing a donut for the crowd prior to drivin🐽g over the finish ramp at the Cordoba stadium on Sunday.

However, as the organisers of the event had asked them to do it to help entertain the 40,000 🐈people, who had just watched the 😼two super-specials that closed the event, it does seem a bit harsh.

Loeb, Gigi Galli, Manfred Stohl and Daniel Sordo๊ were each fined 10,000 Euros for what was view𓆏ed as 'hazardous actions'.

"That is absolutely ridiculous," said Stohl. "During the super stage, going 120, you fly by th🍎e audience so close you could shave them with your side mirror. And then they come up with such a thing!"

The OMV Peugeot driver, who finished fourth though, was unwilling to say anymore in case꧟ the FIA opted to tak𓆉e further action.

Galli meanwhile who was on the podium for the first time admitted that he didn't know what they can and can't do. "I would like to say, only a small advice. When I was on the podium, nobody told me what I had to do," he continued. "I couldn't know what I was doing, one person sa🤪id if you want, you can do donuts. I do that and, for me, it was a pleasure..."

Just not a 'pleasure' shared by the FIA...
