Rally Wrc Monte Carlo 2017

[car]

I tend not to be a fan of NOT's pretty brash style. However I have to agree that, injured or not, anyone stood in that position is stupid. You don't become less stupid just because you're badly injured.

I'm not arguing with the sentiment... just the timing. If the guy suffers worst case scenario, I for one wouldn't want to look back and think I had called him stupid.

SS1 UPDATE: it's reported that a person was involved in Paddon's accident. We are liaising with the organisers to have more news.



U kiddin Hyundai?

[AL14]

He is stupid no matter what happen. Hope nothing will happen but he is stupid and put other people like Paddon in a very bad situation.
Him and the organizer that should have kicked his ass out of there.
End of story.

Have tyo admit that I've ended up in a stupid spot or two. This was one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGFNbeQ4t8Q

Chap in a blue coat that's to the left of the car at 9 seconds. The spot wasn't too bad for watching, but there was no decent escape route. When the accident started I turned to run, went a few feet and there was a fence there. Tried getting back towards the stage but slipped just as the car hit a tree. Very, very close to being a Darwin Award. My old man was stood next to me and didn't move a muscle throughout, just waited to see which way the car was going. Learnt a lesson that day because we'd noticed that it wasn't the best spot and had agreed to move "when we've finished this cup of coffee".

There is a person in green high vis vest in the onboard, not 3m from the black spot where the guy seems to be sitting... steward not doing their job?

[bluuford]

Nope, you're mistaken.

4 meters? Incident was shown on live TV?
Lets take some psoitives out from here. Tänak fastest on first split, Ogier fastest on second split and neuville Fastest at the finish, sounds like quite equal cars

Why not? He wouldn't be less stupid just because he was dead. If we continue to dance around the issue of standing in a stupid spot when the worst case scenario happens then people won't learn.

Heli is good news... so there was some life in him, if you understand me...
