Agreed, but it's human nature and despite the fact Paddon shouldn't feel awful, he will

That stupid spectator wins the 2017 Darwin award. And besides that I always thought RMC isn´t belonging to WRC. That´s my opinion. Always was.

Spectators shouldn't be restricted to designated areas, it spoils the sport. They should, however, be restricted to sensible areas. Sat on the stage, with no protection on the outside of an icy corner is not a sensible spot to be.

Same time as scheduled it seems.

I wouldn't worry at all mate... there is / was a lot of confusion as to what has happened exactly and I don't think anyone on here will think you said anything harsh at all... Take it easy and hopefully the guy will be ok and the rest of the rally will be safe.

Rally Radio really tip-toeing around the issue, nice to finally hear a bit of confirmation that they realise what the rumours are but have to wait for official confirmation.

Looking at this picture it looks like there is a spectator right after the one sitting who got hit.

Blue clothes and red hat like the one in the vid posted above - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQJ1bVgDaJk

Really hope the guy is OK, but why stand there??! Horrible for everyone involved, Paddon will be feeling awful right now

Why stand there? To get good, night pictures or good video which after it's uploaded to youtube others would praise it and moan about the official videos :(

I don't think the car was much of trouble, more the spectator incident.
