I hope there is no bad injury. There was enough of bad luck this year...
According to one Finnish guy, who was on the spot, the tyre hit the spectator to the head... :/
Police car is now on the stage.
Fuchs slightly off 1,5km from start, ripped frontwheel off from the car and that wheel hit one spectator to the head :(
For sure they are the hottest girls in the WRC ever!

Hopefully all the shakedown times will be published after the stage is over.
Looks a little bit that they also use the fire fighting system?Quote:

s Mikkelsen: new VW Škoda Fabia set-up for Germany
Interesting. Could this set-up be the VW set-up (Sachs dampers instead of Reiger on UK Skoda).
I can't listen it now as I'm at work but they used Sachs on Fabias already before. Maybe not Mikkelsen but I'm pretty sure I saw Sachs dampers on both Fabias in Monte Carlo. I was not in other rallies though I can't confirm what was used there but I think they were switching between both to compare.
I was told that the spectator has died... But this information is not confirmed yet by officials.Quote:

Eh?
I could not agree because your statement is so broad that all ability has disappeared for me to have any idea what PARTS of the car you mean were stronger/are weaker..ball joints? hubs? motor block? Head gasket?....what?Quote:
