WRC Croatia Rally 2021

[Steve Boyd]

Well, I was talking only about spectators on Rally Croatia and its Covid consequences, lack of them, to be precise. That's a fact. And I see no reason why would other events be any different. Maybe they wily maybe they won't. But Croatia's example says it is possible to do it.

You don't have the data to come to that conclusion. The only way you could draw any conclusion about the safety of the rally in Croatia would be to have details of the Covid case numbers in the people who went to the rally before the event and following the event and to compare them statistically with what was happening in the general population over the same period.

You have no way of knowing whether case numbers are building in the rally spectators after the event but that their increase is being masked by a fall in caes in the general population.

More importlantly do YOU have a data to prove otherwise? Here we have people complaining that fans didn't respect rules and that should've wear masks etc. And in reality, we have a huge drop in cases in Croatia for the whole period afterwards, all three counties, where rally was held, included.

You're asking for a analysis and I'm asking for a common sense. C'mon, can't you just admit that it'obviously possible to have a rally with spectators with no apparent Covid consequences...

This is a conversion you both have to do via private messages, WE DO NOT CARE.

And I do not care if you care or not. This is very important topic for current WRC and the future of the season.

Rally happened, it was great, no problems occured, everyone is happy, let’s go on!
Do not overthink.

It's a bit like "I drove 1000 km without seat belts and nothing happened, no one needs seat belts anymore"

well... no! nobody can.

[Pršljen]

well... no! nobody can.

Can you state otherwise? No, you can't. And that's the point. Yes, rally happened, no, there wasn't any known Covid consequences. And yes, let's not allow spectators on Sardinia and Portugal, we need thorough analysis about is it safe or not. Let's bring epidemiologists and all experts to make some study about it. Without that, people don't have right to spectate a rally live.

Well, it's not. Seatbelts are not rally fans who love the sport and who make the sport what it is. They are just piece of metal.

My last bit in this strange - on forum with rallyfans - topic. Spectators are allowed to be on Portuguese stages. If we see similar pictures - crowds on relatively small area - it will be wrong because it's dangerous or it will be OK, because officially rally is held with spectators?
