Rallye Wrc Monte Carlo 2016

It is on day3 highlights. There is visibility, but I didn't saw a spectator being hit, only running away ones. So imo the stewards made decision based on assumption, not fact.

If you look to the WRC+ full onboard, you can clearly see the spectator on the bonnet. If Latvala couldn't see him, surely his codriver could!

Congrats to Ogier/Ingrassia, Evans/Parry and Veiby/Andersson.

Hope Matton will give even more chances to Meeke and Hyundai can turn the i20 more competitive (and Neuville happily integrated in the team!). We need them to give Ogier a fight; otherwise it’ll be another boring season...

For sure Skoda won't be bored this season, fighting Evans and MSport in WRC2, with Suninen, Kremer, Bonato, Suarez and many others around! It'll be nice to watch.

The same in WRC3. Veiby was on his own at MC, but guys like Berfa, Andolfi, Koci, De Tommaso and others will probably make his job difficult.

Hopefully, Rossetti will be one of them! The Italian managed to win Clio Cup (2nd in MC after Burri Jr, but 1st overall on season cup results) and will make 6 WRC events with Renault Sport.

Where did you find that? There is no SS11 from Latvala on there as far as i can see.

It’s also great to see that 100% amateur’s crews still have their place at MC (and WRC). Besides the 4 RC5 brave teams (2 managed to finish), it was nice to see the evolution of the #100 Abarth 500!

According to Ewrc, Maurice Brera/Alain Pierre Forestier are a swiss crew with some national experience but only one previous MC attempt (they retired ’15 rally at SS1!). With their little Fiat they made bright times (close to Koci, Cima and others with more competitive cars) until an off at SS13. After they were less fast, but still managed to get into Monaco on a pretty good 42nd place!

These amateur’s teams should have more attention from WRC promoters (following ASO/Dakar example)!

Yesterday it was online and I can confirm that it was clearly visibly that the spectator was hit - no doubt. despite the mud and steam.

In the day3 Highlights its a cut Version.

It is normal that they are not giving all interesting onboards to WRC+. But I didnt expected they will be deleting onboards which were published before...

The onboard camera is at the bottom right of the windshield, so it is far from Latvala visibility, how could they know what he'd seen and in what direction he was looking, it is just an assumption.

No, the camera was this time centered with full view over the full width of the bonnet.
Here a picture from the stage before from latvala. (Click to zoom)

so You saw the spectator, so did we from fan videos from outside. Why should we all trust Latvala/Antila have seen him too?

Maybe you should read the stewards decision. After the finish, at the stop-line, Latvala told Julian Porter that he hit a spectator (before anyone else talked about it). So he knew about it, no need to discuss about it.
