Who knows - but no mention of engine here: http://www.crash.net/wrc/news/231827...in-poland.html

Haven't saw that, that might be it
Didn't know he actually drove the next stage after frontal damage, and that seems to happened on the first loop.

I thought Ogier was taking it a bit easier on this event, but apparently not.
However, just a small mistake looked could have been a big disaster for the whole rallysport. Crowds of spectators in the direction after jumps. No steering after landing...
Was every driver brainless on this event. from videos they all seemed totally crazy over every jump.

Is this rally faster than Finland or will we see same crazyness in NRF this year?

I think it was Lunde that said it best. The pace is super high in Poland and there is a bigger margin for error. If you do the same thing in Finland you're into the forest.

The safety was said to be on the different level than last year, but it seems that maybe not...

Imagine next year when 2017 World Rally Cars will be much more faster!

In Rally Finland the average speed is higher, but in Poland some parts of the stages must be faster. In Finland the safety is of course much better controlled.

As Teemu also mentioned we should be happy no one was killed in that rally. Seemed not to be any safety measures taken regarding to all jumps and the high speed. Compare to Finland. Just saying.

It depended on the spot really. Tho the places where I was it was quite civilised. Think the most dangerous one was on the second day where Latvala and Al-Rajhi didn't slow down or turn early enough to make the sharp left turn from cobblestone to gravel. There the safety guys didn't give a sh.. after the safety cars were through.

Yes, found it pretty strict concerning safety. We didnt see a lot of spots where we could stand where we wanted.

+1, in general safety was good, in my opinion. It seems like there were some problematic areas, but when going through onboards I'm sure people should see that the safety is much better than last year.
