There is an ambulance on stage too, although it doesn't seem to be in a rush.
WOW! Rally Spain started with dramas!
https://twitter.com/MadsOstberg/stat...61893043527680 hopefully the spectators on the right side aint the reason...
Edit: here is the actual reason https://twitter.com/BrendoRally/stat...64264666423296
Pretty sure the zero car has done more passes than any competitor so far...
I know it's only a shakedown yadayada, but if I were Mikkelsen I'd be ashamed to be behind Block even if it was on the shakedown...
Four R5s and we're stopped again...
OK, the Polo sounds a little bit better than the Skoda at least...
4.5/10 for noise
Looks VERY planted on the tarmac sectors of Catalunya shakedown.
Camilli looked much more on top of it than Petter to my very untrained eye.
Camilli with the fastest R5 time so far
@thierryneuville
Good to go again! Thank you very much boys

“It was a square right, I came into the corner and the ruts were already deeper than on the first pass. The car started to go onto two wheels and I tried to save the situation but we flipped over,” said Neuville.
“Obviously we were hoping for better on the shakedown. It’s a good omen as well because back in Germany a couple of years ago we rolled in shakedown and won the rally. So let’s cross fingers that it will be a similar scenario this weekend!”

Is Solbergs first pass on ewrc a glitch? Because somehow 10 minutes exactly is an unrealistically long time.

Hope no further incidents like this on rally and the idiots can go and stand in front of bulls with horns instead of rally cars.

Nearly the full video is a gamble with life. Unbelievable - like walking straight into a catastrophy.Quote:

Yup. Slightly ironic that he mentiones it was on the limit spectator-wise, when he is on the outside of the corners in quite a few situations himself. Then again, we all know being a professional, or semi-professional photographer/videoperson gives you added security and freedom to do what you want.Quote:

I wonder what the drivers are thinking and if they have raised concerns too? Ultimately if an accident happened, one team will directly be impacted by this.Quote:

It was a bit of a free for all last year around that section but it's gone up a few levels this time. Did the FIA stop the stage and move them back? They monitor the onboards and social media videos and it's easy for them to interject during shakedown. Happened in Wales and at quite a few events.Quote:
