Rally Japan 2022

[mknight]

We now have detailed description of what exactly happened to the point of showing that not only wasn't a Marshall there but they also forgot to place the tape over the road.

Which indeed is a big messup.

I have no idea what the process was up to this, but right now FIA is certainly not covering anything up .

They've now realised they need to CYA - cover your ass.

If what you say goes, Rallit.fi and DirtFish need to make public apologies.

[Rallyper]

Mistakes can easily be made. But this one indicates there were only a single person (marshall) on the spot.
I would say having at least two marshalls on sight would have prevented the big fail...

What do you mean?

What are the safety plan check procedures in a WRC round

- safety recce, noting down where you need marshalls, physical blocking, tape, bales, shicane and so on.

- Safety team makes safetyplan based on recce.
- Safety chief and XO drives through veryfying the plan, adding, deducting based on his/her experience.
- identifying needs and gathering people, equipment, trucks with cranes and so on.
- 2 days before start, put everything in place of heavy equipmemt
- day before, inspection of safety chief
- rally day: train, and get out all marshalls.

- First 0 car has a responsibility to check that safety plan, and take action if something is missing.

"Apparently, the International Automobile Federation (FIA) had asked Finnish drivers to shut their mouths on the matter." Rallit.fi

"the FIA told DirtFish: “Following an accident involving car 42 (Craig Breen/James Fulton), the stage was red flagged. Very quickly after the red flag, a [civilian] car was identified on the stage." Dirtfish

either lies, misunderstanding or irresponsibility

It is going to be a long long night. There will be the battle for the lead, the battle with the weather, and it seems according to a new Autohebdo article, 'Under (FIA) surveillance, the Rally of Japan could not go to the end!

"While new, less serious and non-safety incidents still plagued the event, the college of commissioners decided to place the organizers under the threat of a definitive stoppage of the rally if another problem were to occur on Sunday."

This is written on that Stewards Decision of course, but well worded interpretation from Autohebdo.

I still don't understand why rallit.fi or DF should apologize.

Weird how Japanese people who are so hard working and well organized, organized this mess.
