Rally Wrc Monte Carlo 2017

[N.O.T]

Why stand there? To get good, night pictures or good video which after it's uploaded to youtube others would praise it and moan about the official videos

i do not think anyone praises mobile phone videos taken from the outside of the corner at the same level with the car....

Spectators shouldn't be restricted to designated areas, it spoils the sport.

I used to agree, but when you see these kind of idiots sitting there on the outside of an icy corner... I don't know. Would it really be that stupid idea just to force the spectators to designated areas? Only for the sake of rally sport, that's all.

This is no spectator I think:

Official camera was 2 meters from that spot, remember?

I looked again. To me it still seems the guy was on a much higher position than the car. You can actually see the car lights pointing at him on .27s, just when he's falling. The car never hits him.

Anyway, hope he's ok and other guys won't take that kind of risk. Spectators should enjoy the spectacle without ruin it.

both of them are natural selection at work...

I'm afraid it's involving 2 spectators, one being lounched over the rock, other (the one you can see on the onboard after crash) is on the ground on the (stupid) position they were.

N.O.T, I'm not so sure calling someone who may be seriously injured 'stupid' is appropriate right now. I am just hopeful that he will be ok and the sport can use this as an example to teach others. Please leave the detrimental comments out, at least until we know the guy is ok.
And, yeah, goes without saying we all want safe rallys, all the time.

Spectators shouldn't be restricted to designated areas, it spoils the sport. They should, however, be restricted to sensible areas. Sat on the stage, with no protection on the outside of an icy corner is not a sensible spot to be.



Same time as scheduled it seems.

I agree, but sometimes the euphoria of the moment makes you lose your judgement. Not saying this spectator had any to start with, but this new season will be a major challenge for crowd control.
