Even in days of old, split times were shown by team members on road side boards that were radioed through from other people on the stage with stop watches. So even a complete in-car communication and split times telemetry ban would not be effective as there is always another way to 'skin the cat'. Rules are have always be made and changed over the years and teams have always maximised the ways they could bend, stretch or create an advantage from them. Tactics have always been involved in the sport, just that the nature of those tactics have evolved as the rules and regulations have changed. No matter what the governing body does, the competitor will seek out what ever chance they have to win.
