My thoughts on photos and videos at rallies is the same as music concerts. I'll maybe take a minute or two to get some photos and videos to look back on, but otherwise I want to be in the moment. Nothing wrong with wanting something to look back on and share on social media your experience. But that's not how to experience the majority of an event.

I was about to say the same. I typically take a video or photo to send to a friend or as a memory, but definitely not all or most cars. And I usually I don't waste the experience of seeing the top drivers through the lens, but some lesser driver. Often I even film the zero car just to show my friends what kind of a place I chose.

I agree, leave the photos and videos to the experts as your handheld phone wont do it justice.

I can still remember the sight, sound and smell of the Group B cars in the 80's which I experienced and never worried about filming.

Bare minimum you get one video of a MkII Escort coming out of a corner on the lock-stops and anything else you feel you have time for is a bonus

I only take pictures or videos from one SS and I watch the rest with my eyes. This is a good rule I think.

Nobody is watching the rally, everybody is looking at their phones!

6.7k have watched the rally because someone was looking at their phone, recording the footage you posted...

I usually don't film anything, but i'm glad other are doing it. Most of the hot moments and crashes are only captured on video due to amateurs filming with their phone.

He should go to rally2 and prove he can win there first.

Bingo; he is definitely a good driver but I think he needed longer at the Rally2 level before stepping up.

But it wouldn’t have required all those people filming, just one.
