relly scary!

New bodyshell required...

Maybe time for the rallying world to consider an all-weather tyre for asphalt?

Easier to put in a minimum number for shore for asphalt tyres.
Put them on much harder tyres, to get speeds down and safety up!

All-weather tyres would naturally be slower on dry asphalt, safer when conditions are bad and mean events like last weekend’s Barum are less of a lottery. And yes, it would mean fewer tyres have to be taken to an event which would be cheaper and easier logistically.

Did the promoter do any deal with a local broadcaster to share the All-Live footage, at least for some stages?

No, nothing...

So well known place (that right corner just after jump), every year lot of offs there (in this direction).

It’s a fast rally with trees close to the road, and when you add in unpredictable weather and the wrong tyres it can be dangerous. Maybe time for the rallying world to consider an all-weather tyre for asphalt?

It should help if they will give more freedom in choice of tyres. Not to limit the tyres to only 16 per event and allow cutting the tyres for this unpredictable conditions...

But this would increase costs and benefit those that can afford them. Plus the risk element would still be there. Better to reduce cost, risk and the element of luck by putting everyone on an all-weather tyre.
