    Finland could be postponed to September or October (weird, since the organizers have strongly talked against this).

    But if an accident happens, the organizers are responsible. That's why they want to manage it.

    Well, marshalls have to see there´s not more than 50 people around car then...

    I'm seriously talking about accidents involving spectators. We had this in a Finland national event in 2018. The victim was sitting on the outside of a corner, drunk, when a car crashed over. And the organizers are still in the court for that.

    I would say your example hasn´t anything to do with the Covid-19 regulations. Still marshalls are in charge at any situation.

    I'd be very surprised to see Rally NZ happen unfortunately. Currently we have a mandatory 14 day quarantine in place for new arrivals. Lockdown restrictions are slowly being reduced, but somehow I can't see how a huge travelling circus would be allowed to enter the country even as far away as September. I hope to be proven wrong.
    Not sure if the 2021 calendar has been finalised but it would be great to see Rally NZ on it especially if this years event will probably be cancelled.

    We've already booked and paid for flights, accommodation in Auckland plus a hire car. We have volunteered as officials (as we do for Rally Australia). I have thought for some time that there is very little chance of it going ahead - the teams will not want to travel that far with a (possible) very restricted finish to the season. I am glad to see that a decision will be made at the end of May as it gives us some time to try to recover our costs or change holiday plans.
