Dosen't matter if you as a spectator/filmer/marshall decice to take the risk but if something bad happens it's not just you who lost your life or got injured badly. But it's also horrible situation for a driver who might have hit you, no matter if the person was professional filmer, small kid or a parent of 3 it always affects someone (kids, parents, family, friends etc.). We can't have any more casualties in WRC or the whole sport of rallying as we know it could be over.

It looks very undramatic, would love to hear a drivers view on that place and i was only there for a few drivers i trust.
I was a bit amazed at their precision on the fast right with the tree on the inside, i haven't got the right angle but when stopping the video every driver must be less than 30cm from the tree. It's always a risk calculation, i feel less safe if there are people around me because you never know what they will do if something happens.
Btw, what is it with Spanish drivers getting so mad when you overtake them when they are doing 100kph in a 120 zone?
Two times I've had people tailgating me by 2m in the dark afterwards now. I was driving a Fiat Panda, but still!Last edited by SubaruNorway; 28th October 2018 at 23:29.

While typing up the results, I realized that some of the old gang were present at the same event again (and found some other parallels too). For comparison, let's refer to 2003 Rally GB where top three was:
Petter Solberg (back here at the wheel of Polo R5)
Sebastien Loeb (back here and winning this time, in 2003 he bowed under Citroen's wishes to make sure of manu title and finished 2nd)
Tommi Makinen (his last WRC event as a driver in 2003, now a team manager)
Also:
JML was 10th then, 7th this time.
Gwyndaf Evans was 27th then, his son Elfyn fourth here.
Kalle Rovanpera's father Harri retired then, his son won WRC2 here.
Eamond Boland was competing then, as he was here too.
As was Jan Kopecky.
Meeke was competing then, could have been competing here too, but...
The one that I was looking for is Timo Rautiainen, then co-driver for Marcus Gronholm. He's been FIA appointed steward on many rallies this season but not this time, thus not extending the already long list above.
All this, despite 15 years has passed.

Sorry to drag this up from several pages back, but really!
When Loeb hit the scene in the top level o wrc, it was immediately clear he had what it takes to become (multiple) wdc. In an era that had not only Citroen and ford, but also Subaru, mitsubishi, Peugeot, Skoda, Hyundai and possibly seat (if I remember correctly) as manu entry so a lot more competitionLast edited by Norm75; 29th October 2018 at 08:59.

2003 was the last time 3 drivers went in to the last round with a chance of winning the Championship, I think? Burns, Loeb and Solberg, although we know sadly Burnsie didn't get to compete in GB.
Also the last time someone not named Seb won the Championship - that one is pending a few more weeks and could easily be cancelled!
