I am sure they continue this for quite few days before they run out of things to write about Rally GB, then "regular" newsfeed is restored - speculations about contract, counting days until next something (test, rally, whatever "event" where Tänak or any of his competitors is involved), new interpretations of whatever Mäkinen, Wilson or some other rally-related person has said or thought (oftern badly translated or misquoted) etc etc. Quite annoying.
    Like I’ve said, always read the press conf transcript and ignore all articles in the next few days.

    The mindset is for sure not finnish mindset. Would´ve been helped within 45 secs..

    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...

    The #1 safety issue in Finnish rallying today: the spectators literally running after the crashing cars, making no effort to check whether there's another car coming by. Please do not imitate that.

    The group of spectators in the background are behind a barbed wire fence, so not the easiest job to climb it and then head towards the car - you can see some of them move out of shot to run towards a gap in the fence I think.

    The action, the landscapes, the organization, everything was top level.
    I've met dozens of very nice people, including the best marshalls I've ever met in rallying !

    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...
