it remains fishy to me. why did they only decide it was dangerous after the 4th car was about to pass? why did they decide it was so dangerous to cancel the stage while we have seen on many occasions that they normally just leave the cars in place, even on much more dangerous places?

How do you do that when Ogier and Latvala are 2/3 in the stage? I mean you can do it, but those two won't drive back to start and drive again. Originally Posted by denkimi

my experience with Rally Mexico officials tells me they are pretty slow with reactions and/or not always making proper ones (like the jump in Guanajuato, not secured gate, etc) so I believe this was the main reason why it happened so late (red flag decision).
Also Lappi went off some 25kms from the start, so sending some help to recover the car and then restart the stage would take way too much time, minimum an hour but I believe in local conditions closer to two...

Looks less and less likely that anyone can change position based on driving only (without issues).

you stop the next car at the start, send a tow truck on the stage, remove the car and restart the stage. Originally Posted by mknight

What's the point of replying to a post that you didn't even read?
