A fact should have a some sort of source. Single stories of positive experiences does not count. It's like saying you don't need helmets in rally cars because they used to drive Safari without helmets and no one died. Or you can drive in road traffic without seat belts etc.
Also, good to remember that in the days when the sport didn't stop its drivers to continue on three wheels, police often did so.

The fact is that in stages there have been many accidents because a driver drove on a rim and some of them at totally unexpected places. The fact is also that since 1984 that I have been a spectator and since 1993 that I have been a driver, I haven't heard a single accident in a liaison section because of this.
Please mention one such accident.
Do you want me to post videos of cars going out in a special stage because of driving on a flat tyre?
PS. Experience DOES count. The comparisons with driving without helmets and seat belts are totally contrary to experience.Last edited by scn; 24th January 2021 at 21:59.

Logic is, first the hypocricy. If someone really put "safety first", he should ban driving in a SS on a rim. However, I think we all agree that this would not be rallying. Second part of logic is that, formalities and "correctnesses" should be judged in such a sport, having always in mind the essence of it. All of you remember Seb driving with Daniel hanging from the window. It is a memory of the sport, and it is a part of the essence of this sport. Same applies for Bjorn engaging 5th alongside a huge cliff, with on tyre less. This is also part of the essence of rallying. If something does not pose ACTUAL danger to the public, please, let it be. Ott with his WRC driving at 60 kph is safer than most of us even if he had only two wheels.

Of course it is not legal. Also, is it legal to drive a car with a roll-cage, a car with high emmissions, a car without MOT tyres, a car with racing seat belts? Simple answer, yes or no?
In my country all the above are illegal. So, let's do rallying without roll-cages, with low emmissions, only with MOT tyres and with MOT approved seat belts. Agree?
