Another point to bear in mind, this event was in the ERC... the European Rally Championship.
Not some village level rally for amateurs.
It's meant to be difficult.Last edited by Fast Eddie WRC; 7th August 2017 at 16:14.

Apparently you've miss my point; from the videos (no other way to say) the stages looked great and only ONE or TWO segments seemed to be more problematic. In that specific cases, especially if organizers have records of previous accidents, it'd be sensible to avoid them or try to make them less tricky (by chicane use, for instance). It may not sound popular, but improving safety standards never is.

@Mirek In Nordic countries rallying was born from narrow gravel roads. Not from tarmac. The speed back then was maybe half of what it is today.
Maybe a rethink of the whole sport could be one solution. Or, like Rally Power says, a more humble organizer should have put up some chicanes at the well known hard places. And some fences for spectators."Reis vas pät pat kaar vas kut"

You'd think these were blind rallies !!
Crews do recce and write detailed pacenotes and have no excuse for not knowing 'difficult' sections.
(And the last thing we need are more artificial straw bale chicanes).

Well, that´s an interesting question. However I said "in Nordic coutries rallies was born from narrow gravel roads" doesn´t need to mean rallying was born in Nordic countries. Even if tarmac was the historic surface doesn´t mean nowadays organizers are without responsibility having high dangerous rallies on tarmac knowing the fact that the speed is many times higher.

Well, but what was actually damaged in this rally, except cars? There`s a big difference between a crash and a crash. A high-speed roll seems violent but is usually much softer to the occupants than a fast stopping crash, which doesn`t always look half as bad.

guys... during last Rally Finland there was one corner where 17 cars went out... it was gravel event... during this event organizer put many chicanes and everyone complained... and it didn't help... so your solutions are not good...
same there in Finland like last weekend in Rzeszow it was simply mistakes or lower level of crews which led to so many offs...
pity to say, but level of the forum is going down, I still read, but very rarely I reply as I have a feeling is waste of time...
