Will it work?
I like the atmosphere of this one - what do you think?
Bear in mind I'm 13 and only a very, very amateur photographer - this was my first one!

So knowing it was a pretty stupid thing to be doing I went and spoke to them and suggested they move up the bank out of the road. As soon as I said this the guy in the ditch jumped up and ran down the middle of the road before falling over and passing out!! Now normally I wouldn't panic straight away but the FIA safety jeep was approaching quite quickly and with the thick fog there was no way he would be able to stop... thankfully he wasn't a big guy and I managed to drag him out of the way just in time
But the amount of beer people were carrying round was incredible, never seen anything like it anywhere, worse than Finland even. And I am all for a bit of fun but the amount and size of fireworks in the spectator car parks wasn't good either, especially when they are being organised by the people drinking and being launched about a foot from your car where you are trying to sleep
If Rally GB was cancelled I would not miss it one bit, I'm sad to say.If the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off!

Not much they can do about it now, But hopefully they will be able to put in place measures so it doesn't happen to anyone else. It was lucky it hit the top of the windscreen where there was a banner. This meant the windscreen was smashed but the rock didn't come through. It probably would have come through the screen if it had hit further down.
What was also disappointing, was that we told the timecontrol at the end of the stage what had happened, along with exactly where it happened and they didn't seem to care.
From what Jamie posted, it sounds like some spectators were irresponsible in other areas as well. If they are not careful, it will end up like spectating in Australia, where they are only allowed in certain, very restricted areas.
Oh, BTW, it was our second pass of Trawscoed.RIP Malcolm ;( Hope you have an audi quattro up there.
