I think John the view is from a chopper, the camera is moving, the rotor noise.....
And the stage is all cobbles....

Luckily nothing worse happened. This topic in such rallies and in such forrest must be more carefully adressed.

But think from the money hungry promoter view. All that press! For free.

On a serious note, couldn't agree more.

Tanak announces he won't restart tomorrow. I wonder what the damage was?

Relax, everything was well controlled by the organizers, firefighters were quickly on scene and according to some friends also on the scene there is a road immediately below and the fire danger could easily by contained. Also as soon as the organizers knew what happened they stopped the stage. Dont be so quick to judge.

No surprise to me - Fuchs has been improving steadily since going R5 and has started adding speed to his PWRC consistency. Good guy too!
On the subject of Meeke without even a posted split to go on, previous stage performance was the only way to assess the time to be given.
