This is what they do on the Isle of Man for the TT races:

I wonder if the follow-up to this fatal accident wouldve been different if it had happened during a live WRC rally and not in a test ? Would there have to be a more official investigation as it was in an event ?
Also, if we accept that the car (side window) cant be made any safer from penetration, how about the drivers own personal safety equipment ? F1 and other sports are continually improving them, like in cricket where batsman's helmets now have the back of the neck protected following a fatality when one was struck by a ball at 90mph+...

There would certainly have been a full FIA investigation. I'm not sure that happened in this case.Quote:

In any case, looking at that incident, and the other video posted on this thread where a car went through a wooden fence, it would appear that wooden fencing is a lot more hazardous that you might expect.Quote:

On this date last year we lost a huge chunk of our sport & community’s heart, I wish it never would’ve happened in the first place.
I miss him in every rally he’s not competing, and it feels like a part of the WRC is dead since he’s been gone.

One year on and still no official report on the accident as Hyundai & FIA announced was to take place.
