    I guess that wasn't what you meant ,
    It's amazing how much more fun one get if the smileys are left out.

    You got me right Mike, this is exactly what I meant.

    I do wonder if Conrad has beaten some record for crashing the most amount of times in a WRCar in such a short amount of time
    From what I saw of the incident on TV I would imagine that insurance companies would probably look on it as a knock for knock incident.

    Would folks rather see 1 less WRC car on events?

    On serious note.

    I've always thought that drivers from the category "pappa betalar" (daddy pays) are entitled to rally if they have the green for it. Some of them slowly evolved as drivers, like Aigner did. And if the seat is not away from anybody then why the hell not?

    But now I honestly think that there should be some rules or standards. Don't you think Condrad has a little too big toy in his hands? For now we have had only material damage but more serious accidents are waiting to happen. If Condrad likes so much rallying and it's not a question of money, shouldn't he be in Group-N or something. Just for universal safety.

    With all due respect rwssport, what I've benefit of seeing Rautenbach's WRC in rallyes, is only the remains of it

    Couldn't agree more.
    Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

    I totally agree with this one, maybe some sort of WRC licence should be used like proposed by a forum shepherd some time ago...
    There are two rules for success
    1. Never tell everything you know.

    Not sure whether I agree here, it was a dodgy bend and unlucky that it happened, but I guess we'll never know exactly what happened because the cameras were not on there. But I have to say when DJ sent me the news I was shocked, but then the damage didn't seem as much as I was expecting when I saw it.

    And to be fair to Conrad, Loeb was probably the first car he'd met on that road.

    It's a strange situation but looking at it I wouldn't blame either of them. Nearly happened to me on my way towards a stage here last November too.
    If the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off!
