I guess the effort you need to put in to have an authentic rally experience is waaaay more than most other motorsports, let alone other sports. That gamer or esports fan is going to have to go way out of their comfort zone to visit the Welsh forests for example.
That's also the reason teams often struggle to get sponsors. It's pretty difficult to get any kind of in-event VIP experience compared to hosting clients at a race circuit or even WRX track.RS Motorsport Media - Follow me on Instagram: rsmotorsportmedia

Is that the goal of this discussion? Discredit rally Poland in favor of New Zeland?
Yes, rally poland has safety issues, but they are not much different from any rally. How many pictures of "idiots" we have in previous discussions? A lot. Why we had dead person at Monte Carlo? Because of good safety? This plot against Rally Poland is complete b****t.

How many times in the last twenty years did a truck go on stage against the competitor? Maybe never until this weekend? If that's not a major safety fuck up what is?

I mean, that's one lunatic fire truck driver. I'm not sure how the rally organizers could have reasonably predicted and avoided that situation. Seems like it could happen anywhere, given a sufficiently silly person at the wheel. Don't think it counts as evidence of a systematic failure at rally poland. It was a major fuck up, for sure, though.

From the video we can't say.
Maybe fire truck driver wanted to just pass and park. I can't imagine driver being so retarded to drive against racing cars.
In any case, do you see this incident as more significant then the death in MC?
How many people called for scrapping it?
Dual standards, that's what you guys are doing here.

You have obviously no idea how organization of such event works. The fire truck was part of the event emergency system and went there on someone's order. I'm sorry but such situation would mean serious consequences for the organization even on second league national level and is competely unacceptable on WRC level.
Yes, I do because this situation is a system failure while some spectator standing wrong is not always such case. I don't bash that much the spectator safety because I know how extremely difficult it is with spectators. You know in my country we have maybe the strcictest spectator regulation in Europe and still we had number of deadly accidents which were nearly in all cases caused by the spectators themselves because they simply ignored the organization.Last edited by Mirek; 5th July 2017 at 21:14.

those idiots from estonia are behind all this sh*t
It's OK, it's a short stage! Remember the FIA and promoter reserve the right to completely fuck over everything we all know, enjoy and understand about this series and sport. Or, maybe they might...
