Another RIP in the world of Rallying over the past weeks! Such a sad loss , Condolences to his family, freinds and the Rallying Community, especially Craig.
Just six days ago Kilian Duffy was literally an inch away from the same. Something must finally be done from FIA. Its not so difficult to reinforce the cockpit with light and thin penetration-proof material. Neither so expensive, todays rally cars prices are speculative anyway.
Sorry there is no material on Earth which can resist that without being several hundred kilograms heavy. The problem is outdated construction of some railguards (especially ending) and their age/maintenance. But to change millions of kilometers of them all over the world is just impossible...Quote:

Few millimeters of carbon is like a paper for a railguard penetrating by the sharp end. I saw even a V8 engine block penetrated by them.Quote:

The only solution is to stop rallystages with those guards on them. Very simple.
I think more fatal accidents come from trees....shall we ban those as well...Quote:

Too bad about the simplistic, boring, venue---driving in a parking lot basically.

It SEEMS they all on asfalto...
And I worry people getting killed on asfalto will lead to problems for everybody including us here who only do gravel.
