I was responding to the 170kph on public roads example with that. In Tänak's case I would take his points away still at the very least for bringing the sport into disrepute and to make a future example out of this case.
For those who think the driving behaviour was reasonable, would your answer be the same if:
* It was some less skilled competitor like Bertelli driving instead of Tanak?
* It was some munter driving a Skyline on steelies, cut springs and a fart-can exhaust instead of Tanak?
To Joe Public who don't like cars and hate motorsport they will see it the same way regardless of who is driving.
if if if........
My God, what the hell is this world coming to!?
He did absolutely nothing!
Just trying to determine whether people are taking a position because of who was doing the driving vs what the driver was doing. To a non-motorsport person who saw this it would make no difference and they are the ones who make life hard for event organisers (like myself) who suddenly can't run events because these non-motorsport people complain and stop councils/property owners from giving us roads to use.
And for the record I think it was a nice, controlled piece of driving that was enjoyable to watch. But I can't condone it on a public road.
Where were your "voice of reason" up until now...

Me? I've never been called a "voice of reason" before, usually quite the opposite... Busy working to pay a mortgage, spending time with family and organising motorsport events (and occasionally being allowed out to compete myself) rather than spending time going out of my way on Youtube looking for examples of poor competitor driving to call out. And for the record I'd personally say all of those examples (except perhaps Kubica) are dangerous and shouldn't be condoned as being acceptable on a public road.
