I think Pajari should be the finnish guy to lay your money on in the future.
Calm, polite, supposely tactical in his driving, and of course fast...
I was thinking the same, whoever wants a serious young driver program needs to get him signed. I remember reading that he's rumored to be with Toyota in WRC2 for next year. I also like that Enni seems to enjoy the stages :)Quote:

Wow nature doesnt like empty space or what was that saying. Seems like Lappi has taken Meeke's spot.Quote:

Lappi's crash

I think I know now why he was smiling when they showed him in car...
Isn't that a bit too early to know? (at the time it was posted at least)Quote:

Could these idiots stop standing at the outside of a corner. Linnamäe at Acropolis, Lappi at Chile and now this. Someone's getting killed at this pace.Quote:

Seems like a DNF here, don't think they'll comeback for super rally.
You simply can't leave such decisions to fans, all non-safe spectating points should be clearly marked as off-limits and enforced by marshals.
Only a matter of time I'm afraid and no one wants that type of PR. The more footage like this though that gets posted online the more locked down for responsible experienced spectators the sport will become.Quote:

That's why I also stated that off-limits areas need to be overseen by marshals. I didn't spot any in the video.Quote:

All we will see is more and more spectator pens and no access to the stages other than that. That will be these peoples' legacyQuote:

Its nice when you know what your doing and trying to access a nice spot but some people are standing at the edge of the road on the outside. The no go signs are ignored everywhere so far.
Yes by now some placed are probably starting to dry.Quote:

The things I see at the moment from onboard where people are I would cancel the rally.
Just ridiculous
I know, not only in Croatia...Quote:

Not much better in person.Quote:
