Then we would get complains from spectators and teams, why they have to spend so much time driving on public roads and service...

The amount of meathead police with guns in Portugal tends to do the trick. The stage/road is lava over there. You can't step on it. That's one way to lock down a rally. Certainly isn't my preference but you didn't ever feel like a stage would get cancelled. Even with big numbers of people. From my experience of that event anyway.

On rally finland they have relaxed the rules for spectators quite a bit. Most behave well with freedom, but I have witnessed some horrible examples where only luck has been saving them. Worst is lying "hidden" on a ditch at a corner and then also people standing 1 m from road at the landing of a big jump. I think MM etc do mainly good work, shame that it has to go that far as cancelling stages.

M-Sport/ Ford have been testing using a 'simulator' in the USA. They say its helped improve the Puma Rally1 car, especially for tarmac. Does anyone know what this simulator could be like ? Story...
