Terrific day

Condolences to families and friends, good luck to Kuzi and Parry who will have surely psycolgic problems after that

I hope the 10 y-o girl isn't too much hurt, when it comes to child it's even worse than all

]It was probably group of Polish Kuzaj's fans. They were in a very dangerous place where there some crashes happened in the past

Why were there so many crashes there? Judging from the link you posted it looks like a reasonably easy curve?

P.S. This tragic accident is all over the Polish media now - on TV, on the radio, in the Internet - not a good propaganda for rallying

It is uphill with a bank inside (no visibility into the corner at all) and it tightens twice. Approach speed of WRC car is somewhere around 150 km/h and it is 600 meters from the start. Tyres are cold and not working very well in that time and moreover in december it is always slippery (humid with a temperature slightly above zero today).

Here is the link for onboards. It is SS2, 30th second in Kresta's onboard. You can see that group of people (probably) on the right side of the pole (not very good quality but You can see someone in white jacket). You can also see how slippery whole stage was.

Anyway I would never stand on such place. To be there is almost like a suicide attempt. Sorry, but that is true

Condolences to families and friends too!!!
