This one is nice and it's even in 4K.

Watch the moment of Von Thurn und Taxis at 1:42 when a broken rim cuts a brake pipe and it immediately starts to burn!

Ah we stood there but missed that due to the delay.

I originally planned to visit that place too.

And so cold in the evening

Yes, I know what you mean. Maybe we shouldn't kick a man when he is down, but he has less points than Solberg, who drives a Rally2 car...

Factually correct but it's never that simple to compare, especially when drivers are using different types of car.

I would say that a driver with lots of seat time and testing in a Rally2 car would find it easier to drive, than one with little testing driving a Rally1 car. Plus, the unreliability of the Puma hasn't helped Loubet either.

Please can somebody explain (or link to) the issue with the insurance that made some crews retire.

Edit: License plates. And I'm asking what the law/rule/issue is that makes 'EU' look disjointed whilst hoping that is a fair question.

Per the Dirtfish review podcast saying CER was a rather clinical boring name. Can anyone think of a better, more sexy, interesting, title for this rally ?

It's not about disjoined EU. You simply can not use invalid number plates. The fact that in some coutries it's not being checked doesn't make it less wrong. It's nothing new. If you go the ewrc car database you can find there plenty of obviously invalid number plates being commonly used and you don't need to check any papers for seeing that (for example temporary export plates being used for years).

Even CER isn't the first international rally where this issue arose. I do remember similar cases with some foreign cars from Barum Rally.

Speaking for our country we have very strict system here with special number plates dedidated to rally cars and a manadatory yearly scrutineering for them. That's why we don't have this problem.
