it's a FIA tent?
Brilliantly fast at times, but too fast it seems. :/Quote:

If so then either what I saw was in slo-mo or their roll cage doesn't take much to bend. Spin ought to have taken most of the energy out before impact.
Idiot fan lying by the stage was lucky as Suninen slid off...

Did you actually see the tube? I didn't. With that speed, the roll cage should be intact.Quote:

Looked like half-hearted slap if you ask me. That's why I am so amazed that the tube did bend (as pics prove).Quote:

That tree is particularly close to the road, I'm surprised it's not been removed. There have been many close-calls on that right-hander after Colin's Crest over the years.Quote:

Can someone tell from where I can read driver comments?
I normally use rally base but it´s empty this time.
@MSportLtd
Our mechanics are the best in the world and they love a challenge! @TeemuSuninenRac’s Fiesta is back in service and work to repair the rollcage is underway! #WRC #FordPerformance

e-wrc, scroll down past stage and overall classifications, usually driver comments under thatQuote:

the team is allowed to repair the roll cage during rally? that's interesting, but if so, then let's hope they can do it and rejoin tomorrowQuote:

I agree with that penalty yes, no need to cause a precedent, but real life can`t follow the rules all the time....Quote:

Good point, a glancing blow is a different beast.Quote:

Yes, I agree. I only wanted to say that it's wrong to bash stewards in this case when they clearly issued lesser penalty than what shall be normally expected.Quote:
