Deutschland rally 2016

[N.O.T]

How difficult is it to reach the non spectator areas of panzerplatte, forest harping etc. Also talking about safety where the hell did they get the marshalls this year. Every YouTube video has them standing in escape roads and outside of fast corners. Where can I get one of them car proof yellow jackets

it does not matter where they have the cars, if the escape roads are going to be used they are going to use move them since they are close by.

If there is a motorsport hell in afterlife you just got a lifetime pass.... kid.

You too you're lacking logic here.

Going to bed is an unnecessary danger, a very large portion of the worlds population die in a bed.

You're correct.

I didn't remember anyone asking guardrails in the Welsh forests achter Parks tragic crash. The risk is everywhere.

The drivers know the risks... the hinkelsteins are not a secret or hidden... so the drivers must simply drive accordingly.

This is what makes WRC rallying what it is... a variety of tests and risks to be calculated.

If everywhere was made super-safe the drivers wouldnt want to drive and we wouldnt want to watch.

No risk, no reward.

N.O.T is right here in the sense that, because hinkelsteins are man-made objects, they become an easy target for what the FIA/WRC Promoter may see as a "quick win" when it comes to safety.

I'm not in favour of removing them or the Panzerplatte stages at all - it's just not that difficult to see how people's minds work in the year 2016. Better to be actively seen as doing something (*hey look over here we are fixing this problem*) while as everyone has mentioned, the 2017 cars are getting a whole lot quicker.

Oh dear God.

That's the best PR stunt they could come up with?

[Rallyper]

From the start in this thread we (me) questioned the increased speed. And also earlier the way tarmac rallies have developed. Hinkelsteins are not safe as well, but in Lefebvre case they probably saved him from even worse outcome.

My worry is when the monster cars also called a new GrB era will cause the disaster we not want.

Solution is changes in grip an maybe also speed oc in combination with maybe cheaper and less technical cars (i.e. why not R5 in WRC?)
