Had Evans been in Finland, the fans had had him back on the road in 10,5 seconds!
Fans could get them back surely.
fans just don't want to get Evans out..
I was thinking the same. There could be rope attached to the car before it stops and instead of clapping like an idiot for mistake there could be help to get a competitor to be in the game.Quote:

Doesn't matter. Even if it's only 500m of public road, he must have 4 inflated rotating wheels on the car.Quote:

Breen now 3rd, highest of the full-season drivers.
Stage red flagged after Loeb
Did they red flag, cancel or just stopped people from starting the stage, then rescue Evan and start again?
Seems his carefull aproach to a rally he hasn't done in a while is paying off. Sweden he should know a bit better.Quote:

Probably quite dangerous, if car starts falling backwards when people are pushing. So if no one has a rope, I don't think so.Quote:

Evans' car is already on the road.

That was the situation
No way. There´s a huge steep slope just about one meter behind himQuote:

seems its done for Tänak, was moving but standing aside off the road
So Evans given a notional time and will SuperRally. Is that because his car caused the red flag or team's decision (car's condition)?
EDIT
E-wrc has now removed Evans from SS11 results
No I´m not blind, man. Read my post. And cool down.Quote:

Following front impact on stage 11 of Rallye Monte-Carlo @OttTanak was forced to retire on the road section for the day.
If the marshalls had used their head planning, this rescue could have been done without destrying the only real Monte stage on snow/ice/asphalt so far. It was a joy to watch.
They had 3 min gaps, and with some planning of ropes and people working with the driver this operation took 30 sec. If they had 1 marshall slowing competitors, and getting people out of the road if it took more than 3 min.
But you need 1 leader able to plan and execute, the rest is easy.
After two years in the wilderness since Meeke went, not really caring who won any rally, on Thursday I saw Breen chose the number 42 and suddenly I was a Breen fan.
Well, so far so good.
* bites nails for first time in a while *
The thing is they tried without toe rope and the car dropped more now being very close to the edge. Then with the toe rope you have a conga line of spectators around a corner filling the road, then when the car is out you have a car on a 1 lane road going the wrong way. It's one thing to get it out with a neutralised stage and another with cars coming every 3 minutes on live TV.Quote:
