I guess it was against the solid concrete wall, yes. That was the old crash test procedure. Not sure though.
Regarding the black out - just out of curiosity - I blacked out myself in a ski accident few weeks a go even with a helmet on (went spinning backwards over a crest hitting a frozen ground). The blackout took just one or two seconds and the force direction was opposite so nothing really comparable but at least it says that big hit may make you black out for only a very short period of time.
No, there is nothing like an automatic red flag. I'm quite sure about that.Last edited by Mirek; 27th January 2020 at 18:25.

In Sweden he might as well dominate. I don't think it will affect his ability to drive fast/push (= he won't get scared).
But I think it might affect his confidence in the tarmac car. Both Loeb and Mikkelsen had ok-ish speed when they first drove the tarmac i20 , then after a few crashes/small misses from both they stopped trusting it and went backwards. (Mikkelsen crashes/issues in Spain 2017 and Monte 2018, Loeb Corsica 2019)

Maybe, but I suspect he will be just fine. The Hyundai tarmac car is a tricky beast, but if you watch closely Neuville has found a very specific way to get the best out of it without murdering the front tyres with understeer, I think Tanak will be able to do the same and I think his mentality is plenty strong enough to cope with a mistake.

A bit late to barge into this conversation but Alex Kihurani is one of my favorite people in rallying. His father (also a motorsport nut) is Kenyan in origin and his mother American.
He is very intelligent, has a degree in economics (if I recall right) and had a blog that was very interesting to follow.
Happy they did well.
A great rally overall. The loss of Citroen was not felt as bad as I thought it would be.
