So , both should have given up earlier ?
I don't want that .
The point here for me is that the leading driver does have some responsibility in the incidents because if he had left more room , the inside guy would have been less likely to take him out .
Since , in all of these three cases it appeared that enough space was given to that guy inside , yet all three got tagged by that guy locking up , it looks to me that it's in the passing driver's best interest to not squeeze the guy behind too much , lest he cause this effect .
It has lead me to wonder if the aero kit on these cars has just become too sensitive to disruptions in the air flow .
Remember , these things can't follow each other closely in corners at all , so we shouldn't be surprised at this effect .
As such , I think it should be taken into account more seriously when judging these events .
It's easy when you only have 37 cars in the rally. Harder to quickly repeat stages when you have 80 cars like most events.....
