Matton was right on this one. With 4 SS to go, letting Meeke to continue with the car in that state would be a risk: to him and Nagle, to other crews behind and even to open road users.Quote:

What is more we've got a superb battle on our hands right now! Quit the bitching, Australia isn't bad at all.

This isn't the first time we see this kind of behavior in Australia if my memory serves me right (although I can't remember any specifics right now). It wouldn't surprise me the least if it wasn't the last either.Quote:

It was apparently for several competitors as well.
Australia has no redeeming features anyway so why on earth should it stay? Another generic gravel rally, with almost no competitors, that is expensive as hell to get to for the teams, with a drinking culture that is awful.
Edit: and I wouldn't be at all surprised if this was reported to the cleric of the course.
Thankx for the correction :)Quote:

There is quite a difference between 2 spectators behaving like idiots and an army of thousands refusing to obey instructions from officials, not only on a single stage but during an entire rally. Big difference.Quote:
