But we must also understand that the talent depth in rallying is so small that there are very few drivers out there who would be as quick as Taka in a Rally1, even if he is sometimes miles of.

I don't agree with that. I think that both Nil Solans and Huttunen for example have shown in the last couple of years that rookies can be decent behind the wheel of a top class car even in their first start. So to me it's quite obvious that the top WRC2 guys would be better.

So it's not about the lack of depth of drivers. Unfortunately there are few teams/cars and it's way too expensive for talents to give it a go on their own. You need a big sponsor or support from the federation and those things are hard to come by.

Do you have any explanation of what are these yellow things hanging in the air? It´s on every onboard from SS13 at this place.

They look like out-of-focus points of light, aka "specular highlights". Those are common photographic phenomenon. Given their position in the frame, I suspect they're reflections rather than the actual point of light.

They could be specs of water on glass in front of the camera, but they'd have to be quite some distance from the lens or they'd be more blurred. Not sure how that would happen.

Yeah but as I wrote, they are on every onboard from different cars and different cameras (on POV camera and also FX camera)

On a side note, i've just noticed that the two videos on youtube regarding the fighting at the stage have now been removed due to a copyright claim by WRC Promoter GmbH........

Thankfully they haven't noticed all the other action videos yet........

Deleting the inconvenient truth is not a good step, dear Promoter.

copyright claim by WRC Promoter GmbH... what the hell? Did WRC promoter make those videos?

It's a bit more complicated than just who films a clip.
