Haven't saw that, that might be it
Didn't know he actually drove the next stage after frontal damage, and that seems to happened on the first loop.

I thought Ogier was taking it a bit easier on this event, but apparently not.
However, just a small mistake looked could have been a big disaster for the whole rallysport. Crowds of spectators in the direction after jumps. No steering after landing...
Was every driver brainless on this event. from videos they all seemed totally crazy over every jump.

Is this rally faster than Finland or will we see same crazyness in NRF this year?

I think it was Lunde that said it best. The pace is super high in Poland and there is a bigger margin for error. If you do the same thing in Finland you're into the forest.

The safety was said to be on the different level than last year, but it seems that maybe not...

Imagine next year when 2017 World Rally Cars will be much more faster!

In Rally Finland the average speed is higher, but in Poland some parts of the stages must be faster. In Finland the safety is of course much better controlled.

It depended on the spot really. Tho the places where I was it was quite civilised. Think the most dangerous one was on the second day where Latvala and Al-Rajhi didn't slow down or turn early enough to make the sharp left turn from cobblestone to gravel. There the safety guys didn't give a sh.. after the safety cars were through.

Yes, found it pretty strict concerning safety. We didnt see a lot of spots where we could stand where we wanted.

+1, in general safety was good, in my opinion. It seems like there were some problematic areas, but when going through onboards I'm sure people should see that the safety is much better than last year.

It was showing in dayly higlihgths that Sordo hit a tree with left side, if I am not mistaken, and broke suspension.
By the way, according to Estonian television, Ott drove powerstage without brakes. Probably it was the result of the puncture.

It was shown in the 3'rd day highlight that front right brake pipe was broken and Ott was trying to repair it.

Every car was hitting this stone as it was sitting right in a middle of the rut for the right wheel. Fast corner, really fast, and it was like to hit 25cm high kerb at full speed. Michelin tyre H4 or S4 for WRC has much more steal wiring in their structure to make it stronger for punctures and stones like that b*stard over there, they weight 2kg more than TZ or those new tyres for R5 cars.

and when R5 class cars came - crazy, it was like massacre... Good that organisers stopped this before R2 and other cars came...

I guess he was somewhere near there in a normal place and just went in that place to record some passes with his camera afterwards, when he noticed about the rock..
The cars that you see in the video are WRC2 cars, which means he wasn't there originally.

It depends

There`s no denying the DMack tires have improved alot, but on this specific rally it`s at least as much Tänaks driving combined with the road position that makes the difference. Tänak also lead last year on the first day after hitting problems and beat Latvala fair and square on the last stage.

LOL they removed it after all the negative comments, what a bunch of incompetent sick dogs.

Which stage was it?

Stage 6, so you haven't missed much.
