What a tragedy. If l understood well, they hit the rail and the wall on the right and loose consciousness, then the car started to go on fire. A Marshall were there and called for ambulance and firemen. He tried to open the doors but they were blocked. The marshall's fire estinguisher was not enough. It hurts...

R.I.P to these two passionated guys that have lost their lives doing what he probably loves the most. My deepest condolonces to their families, they might be completely devastated.

Heavy impacts and fire. Two extremely recurrent factors that have taken too much lives all along the history. Heavy crashes are something difficult to deal with (in order to avoid them), but is pretty sad that we cannot do almost anything when a car bursts into flames. Maybe one extinguisher isn't enough, maybe neither five hundreds... How to deal with? I can't stand...

My condolences to the familys and friends of those who have passed away. R.I.P.

Also few WRC cars at the start, but they do not drive all stages....but on those SS which are the same for WRC and CIR crews, it is going to be interseting how fast are WRC boys compare to TOP Italian R5 drivers.

Super special stage of today:
Basso and Scandola - 2:20.1
Alessandro Re (the fastest of the WRC) - 2:24.5

I was sure they would have been faster...

Ucci with puncture at ss4 lost the lead to Basso.Now 1,6 sec between Basso and Scandola.Big chance to win for both of them.

Scandola now leading the rally by only 3.1s on Basso who had a 10 second penalty for checking one minute later at SS7.
All the others are nowhere.

3 stages to go tomorrow. Will be a very nice battle.

3 stages to go tomorrow. Will be a very nice battle.

and by the way-even smaller gap between 1st and 2nd in WRC (International class), just 0,3 sec. They have tomorrow two stages....
