    I hope and think so too. Stupid accident.

    Look at this shot. You see something black next to the road, road level...
    Watch the onboard. As he loses the back end you can see a guy with a blue hoody sat by the road at the end of the barrier. When the car comes to a rest on it's side you can see the same blue in front the car.
    You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.

    We do not know anything yet. We just know that someone got hurt. It can be also rock or pice of car that flew as a result of contact´, hit specator and then spectator fell down.

    Exactly that spot breaks all the "rules" of rally spectating: He's close to the road, at the same level, with nowhere to run and little time to react...

    That's why watching rally is for a people who think twice before they choose the right place, many rally spectators think that they are immortal...

    Sickening accident, he's thrown against the cliff by rear of the car.

    Really hope the guy is OK, but why stand there??! Horrible for everyone involved, Paddon will be feeling awful right now

    Yep, it seems to be just a stupid fall from a not very brigth spectator. No shot deserves to put yourself in so tricky place. Didn't see any contact with the i20 and it could have happened with any car. Hope the guy gets ok and the rally goes on without any further incidents. WRC deserves it.

    Btw, please let's stop bringhing up Gr.B bad memories. There's very little in common with those days.
