After the PRO split, WRC2 series are a sort of elimination races, quite boring to follow. Having local crews fighting with regulars can spice it a bit. Btw, according to eWRC Fontena is a former Chile rally champ.Quote:

Apparently FIA has given a warning to the Rally Chile organizers because spectators were on prohibited areas on the shakedown. There was also a weird incident where a police rode his motorcycle on the stage while it was still live and an R5 car passed him quite close.

I'm getting the impression that there's some sort of contractual obligation for everyone to be reeeeeeeeeally positive about Chile and everything that has to do with it to make it appealing. I don't recall the same excitement and volume of media posts and thank yous for Turkey last year.Quote:
