When they announced the stage was cancelled after the 1st ten cars went off on that corner and someone was taken away in an ambulance they must have known there was a problem with the notes.. before they decided to re-open the stage for its next ten victims with no warning.. nothing.

The pacenotes in Norway made by Bruno Berglund are to good so no one realy goes off anymore it seems, atleast not 20 cars in one place. Did you get to do recce? When i look bak at the crash my dad's roadcar i think it was actualy quite cool, probably watch to much rally

I believe its to keep the costs down to keep the sport alive... all the more reason to have high quality and consistant notes provided by the organisers Imo..The emergence of the new 'Rainmaster' - Mad Max at Interlagos 2016!

Sorry to hear it Zico... but thats rallying!
Hope you can get the car back in one peice soon and that your brother isnt too p1ssed off!
Try and not let it dent your confidence too much it happens to everyone sooner or later. its a fine line between a bit of a moment and your car being a ball of scrap. Even Loeb crashed his car three rallies in a row when he was younger...

That is rallying.
Always expect the unexpected.
Risk is taken by the competitors and enjoyed by the spectators. I love both the roles.

... beat the millionaire gentleman subaru wrc driver by 4 minutes in your talbot sunbeam.. get his attention.. and he sponsors you the whole way to the top.
Otherwise, its a money pit.

I'm very sorry to hear Zico, I understand you're pissed off and I am sure the guy who wrote the notes won't be feeling very well, I'd like to think he just made a mistake, a costly one, but nothing more than that.
I really hope you are both Ok (which seems to be the case ) and the car is not that bad.
As shurik I am waiting for the "My second event, what will be the problem now " thread.There WAS nothing like rallying, Superrally is a joke!

Yep, I've come realise that its not really the note takers fault despite the number of victims it claimed.. When I came over the crest I saw it as the line everyone else was taking.. and that the "danger" was for the noted rock on the outside and as there wasnt a "No Cut" or "Rock inside" in the notes for this corner I followed them... probably compounded by the fact that the bushes and trees which had been ripped up made the corner appear wider than it was previously when the notes were 1st published.
You make decisions based on the notes and what you see... then you are on it only to find that the scenary has been re-arranged... by then its too late
My brother has been unbelievably brilliant about it and doesnt blame me for what happened at all and maintains that its just part of rallying.. for which Im extremely greatfull.
The car was due to be fully stripped down to the bare metal and have extensive work done to it or reshelled anyhow... now its definately the latter as he wants to get it back on the go after the Spring, keep the damaged one as a spare while he repairs it at his leisure. I've just got to help source a good replacement shell and help him in any way I can.
Cheers for the supportive comments guys.. you are a sound bunch.The emergence of the new 'Rainmaster' - Mad Max at Interlagos 2016!
