WRC Rally Mexico 2019

He said the spectators responsible for closing the gate across the stage had been quickly apprehended.

"We found the two people who did it," said Suberville. "As soon as we saw what had happened, we knew this was a very remote place that not many people went to, so we directed the helicopter to that place and we caught them.

"They were foreign spectators and you know what they said? They said: 'It was just a joke…'

"These are some of the idiots we have to deal with."

How many gates were there on the stage 1? 2-3? Is it that hard to put 1 marshall next to each?

EDIT:
Alternatively use a chain+bolt in the ground to fix them in place.

With so few cars participating, it quickly becomes a boring rally when the tough roads and many punctures quickly depletes the field.

Maybe the current sprintrallt format, and advanced cars does not fit into the Mexico rally?

Guys, Mexican roads are not that rough, almost no ruts on second passes, etc. For cars biggest challenge is altitude and temperature, which combined with some very steep uphill and slow sections makes it difficult for cooling...
It looks like that because of so few participants, you had only few non WRC cars, couple of R5s and even less 2wd... So even with few cars going into problems you quickly have 10 cars without issues.
Roads are really nice and challenging, it's really interesting and challenging for engineers to adapt the cars to the conditions, people are very friendly and passionate, and really loads of them, I'm not sure if any other round has so many, so passionate people in service park, for sure not on start/finish ceremony... OK, this year organization made couple of big mistakes, they were little bit unlucky also. In general organization level is maybe little bit worse than on some other rounds, but in European rounds you also have a lot of issues...

Because there are almost no cars too. Let 100 or more cars pass over them and there will be ruts too.

The Mexico roads are indeed very smooth and firm compared to other technical gravel rallies of the season. Only the edges are sometimes ragged with stones, which could get pulled onto the line sometimes.

This year there seemed to be pulled rocks on like every 3rd corner in 2nd passes.

Citroen can win manufacturers championship if they start driving with 3 cars!
Hope they do it as soon as possible! @MadsOstberg in 3rd car!

Watched the Saturday SSSs. Didn't notice that Meeke lost 45s after crashing into a barrier when just looking at the results previously, same corner as Ogier had his moment right after.
