Stage lengths were not entirely correct in official documents. Official overall length of actually driven stages was 632 km
SS 2-4, 8-10, 38-40 and 48-57 (gravel stages) were officially declared as regularity stages for permission and insurance reasons, however ideal times were set so low that they were rarely achieved even by top drivers. On those stages, only the difference to the ideal time is counted into overall classification. Stage results however show the actual driven time. Penalties are unknown.
