Are you saying there should be no night rallying? In my view it's immaterial whether it's the first or last stage. It's either acceptable or not. It is acceptable imvho.Quote:

I guess with the scare the spectator lost his feet and fell down, It didn't look like a such a big fall but it seems it was head first.
0:54 he is sitting on the floor.Quote:

damn that's bad - head first from 2m can be fatal. Let's hope for good newsQuote:

No. Just at the start of a season on a road so easily blocked.Quote:

Don't want to be too cynical, but Crappy Shitty start for the new Gr B cars... :( :( :( :(
I'm sure that he was launched upwards first, rather than being stood on the bank. Looks from the video that he gets caught with the rear of the car and hit into the air, then falls back down.Quote:

History seems to repeat itself
Paddon or Kennard also pointing in direction where guy was sitting. Hope it will be ok..
The last thing WRC needs right now is for mainstream media to start throwing Group B danger shades.
There were Grou B, then group A, and now Group before A. Lasted 10 minutes and alreadu accident including spectators.
I also think he was first hit by the car.
No boudt, clear on this video. DamnQuote:

And with the faster cars, this was a risk by the organisers they didnt need on SS1.

Yeah, since on day light drivers are well capable to keep the cars on the road.Quote:

Yeah, looked like the guy's seat on the ground.Quote:
