WRC event Rally Estonia 2020

I don't understand this logic. Bad injuries can happen without the roof being damaged, for example if a tree or barrier gets inside the cabin.

In this case the car has clearly rolled end over end, hence the front and rear being smashed. It could still cause neck injuries in the high speeds.

The F & R are strong points whereas the roof and frame of the windscreen are less so. The neck is also protected by the Hans device.

'Evans told the DirtFish website: “We knew these cars were safe, but an accident like this one gives us more confirmation. The damage to the car is cosmetic. The shell is damaged extensively but that came from going through the trees. The car’s [safety] structure held together perfectly.

“In this kind of crash, you’re getting rid of the energy more gradually rather than all in one big hit.”

I think Hyundai's problems in Finland have been related to landings of jumps, and there is less of that in Estonia. Additionally, Tänak is just unbeatable on these roads. We could see that from Neuville's performance in the same car.

Often it was quoted that it's the road camber in Finland combined with the harder surface that makes Hyundai struggle there.

That said Neuville has not been fast in the I20 in Finland even compared to his teammates all 3 last years, with some effect of road position included (2 times vs Paddon, 1 vs Mikkelsen and even Breen had same speed). Here there was nobody else than Neuville to compare and compared to Rally Estonia last year the differences were much smaller.

All in all I am not convinced that Tanak would be able to fight with Toyotas in Finland, but next week in Estonia he certainly seems to be able to.

The service park of Rally Estonia, first ever Estonian round of WRC will be closed for the spectators. The reason is FIA decision to minimalize corona virus risks. In today’s situation is very important to think about the health of everybody involved with rally both organisers, teams and spectators.

Urmo Aava, Rally Estonia director: “Unfortunately we see everyday news about corona virus increase all over the world. We have always stressed that this year’s Rally Estonia priorities are safety, prevention of corona virus and we are using different measures to minimize the risks. Even in the last minute if needed. We hope that rally fans understand the situation where all the big sporting and cultural events face similar restrictions.”

Visit to the Service Park was part of some rally pass group programs. It means that people who have bought rally pass with the visit to Service Park can ask proportional refund from the price of the rally pass. For that please fill refund form here: https://www.rallyestonia.ee/et/tagastused

Just to let everyone know, media wise - there are massive restrictions on access.

If you have accreditation, you have to either choose one of the following.

Low Density and High Density areas.

The High Density area the Service Park and Team areas.

Low Density is everything outside of that Media Zone and areas on special stages dedicated for Media.

So the restrictions will be tight. I wonder how this will go for spectators... will spectators be allowed in the Service Park? As they'll be out in the stages!

The Podium Finish will be questionable... I know they will try to Pool Media on occasions so imagery/film is shared between agencies/teams and media outlets like in F1.

I can understand team media as there are two/three or four photographers so each snapper or camera person is allocated a dedicated job for the weekend, either out on stages or stuck in service capturing service and media activities. WRC TV will be fine as it's like that anyways.

As mentioned earlier this month... the case for Media Access to the Service Park will look like the above.

It's either one or the other.

So no access for spectators has been enforced.
