Like I’ve said, always read the press conf transcript and ignore all articles in the next few days. ;)

UK Rally spectators used to be exactly the same, I’ve helped push/pull/roll many a car back onto the road over the years, but ever since the safety mindset went crazy after Sainz hit the spectators in his Focus, it has been actively discouraged. And honestly I don’t know how many fans from before that time are still around...

Couple of days late but some photos of the rally. I think I've been to watch events in 12 different countries but still so much passion for this 'home' rally. Maybe only two rounds in the championship for me next year, let's see.

Oh yes it does!
They didn't just turn up in NI out of the goodness of their heart!
There was indeed a large payment made: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-49117736
All major events need taxpayer support. Otherwise they just go elsewhere...
