From recce:
Dont cut, logs !

These logs are dangerous and ridiculous! As all the other posts, bales or any artificial devices used to prevent corner cutting.

FIA world organizers must understand that corner cutting it's a characteristic rally driving technique, it doesn't make sense to prevent or penalize it!

Road rebuild costs must be undertaken by organizers, and if some organizers can cope them, others certainly will.

Is it possible that it it just one or two corners in a particular stage or two? Possible that they have a drainage issue or something they don't want disrupting? If the logs were there in the recce, and only on a few corners, the drivers will all slow accordingly. If the whole stage is like this, then there is a problem.

That would see the end of rallying in the UK. I don't get why it's an issue either, it's not like they are hidden and the drivers have a recce to note that the logs are there (you mention corner cutting, but arguably accurate pacenotes are more of a rallying characteristic). BTW organisers already do pay for reinstatement, however to reduce the amount required they occasionally have to do things like this. In any case, who do you think actually pays that bill? It's all filtered down to entry fees and spectators.

How are those logs about health and safety??!! It's about keeping the cars out of the ditch so that the landscape isn't ruined.

Probably not, although I am prone to last minute changes of mind during the first leg, so may end up doing Saturday. Have been prone to a few over the top bits of spending recently though so could really do without spending £100 on driving up to Wales. Plus the idea of sleeping in the car again is far from enticing.
