I dont see the increase in speed making much difference... if a current WRC car went into spectators it would already cause carnage. At 150kph or 200kph its still a disaster.
150 or 200kph makes BIG difference on impact, regardning driver and codriver. Make your physics.

And at the end of the 2025 season he said that all of his vacations are planned on the rally weekends so he wouldn't have time to watch or participate :D
After Monte they said, dont worry Sweden will be better.
They'd moved their test base to Finland 3 years ago to sort the car on fast gravel (and snow).
And in Sweden... they were worse.
