WRC Driver Conduct On Road Sections - Case Tänak at Monte Carlo

[Tarmop]

Case a) Showing-off in a closed-out parking space for racecars with race-marshalls close and the crowd behind a barrier being watched by the same marshalls.

Case b) "Showing-off" on a public road close to people standing in the open next to a car

Totally the same.

If you have driven a car and/or know something about physics then you should also know, where the car is being pulled in these kind of situations. Now compare it to where they were standing.

I honestly believe Ogier doing donuts on the high street in Llandudno at the end of Rally GB, like in situation A, is far more dangerous than what Ott did here. Yet he's done that in full sight of all the rally officials and Police (road still subject to Road Traffic Act) multiple years and nobody seems to be concerned about punishing him for the blatant risk taken, showing off...

I am in favour of a bigger punishment simply because it would mean something then. It would send out a message to other drivers as well as to the public that this kind of road behavior is not tolerated and WRC as a sport does not represent or align itself with this type of road driving. I would at the very least take his points away, no one is sending him to jail.

Oh come on with your message sending. What about those 170kmh-in-public guys then? Life in prison? Perhaps execution? That would definately send message. With this kind of over the top attitude you are not delivering any message. You only create conflict. And this is probably worse to the sport than if this harmless fun goes entirely unpunished.

No, just a ban from competition for a certain time period and probably also driving license away by simply following the country's road traffic rules where the infringement happened.

[Tarmop]

Stupid, utterly stupid. How can we know that it wasn`t staged? Videos made by third persons and then discussed by fourth aren`t and shouldn`t be subject to any punishment. Playing police isn`t nice, it`s...

Dude says he is passionate about Motorsport and then wants its competitors to be banned

Yes, passionate about the sport. And I'd much rather ban individuals involved in the sport if it will prolong the survival of the sport itself.

[Tarmop]

Still utterly stupid. Passionate about THE sport ( sport in general: competition that shows who is the best, not who is the best theoretically /on paper)??? I mean, making conclusions based on an amateur video and demanding absolutely horrendous punishments to a pilot and team capable of making the series much much more interesting. Like said, reminds N.- Korea.

Try fishing, it`s good to calm oneself (personal experience), winter should also be nice there, also great fun.

E: I believe that driving schools in this region school their pupils to drive safely on winter roads and say that going a bit sideways is nothing to be afraid of.

This is just ridiculous. He drifted a car in a corner where spectators were filming. He was not even speeding! Are you sure you're a rally fan?
