    Is the number of spectators so high here, compared to other rallies?
    Does not look like it is is that crowded, or are they hard to control?

    Is it the head of security in one of the 0 cars that makes the final advise to cancel a stage, or how is this done?

    A few young drivers on each rally would boost the number of Rally1 cars and give more interest to fans.
    The FIA spending their own money?

    Ha ha ha ha

    I doubt FIA will want to pay and you can't "mandate" from local sponsors to fund extra crews.

    New rule that every crew will be able to score manu points instead of only 3 nominated ones should help a little. Sesks, Pajari and Solberg should find seats soon anyway as many WRC drivers are getting quite old.

    Speaking of Rally Poland, I was so excited to see my country back in calendar but it's total disaster. Must really suck for fans that go there and behave properly.

    Still it is how you organize - of course you can not put a policeman on every meter, but you can limit access roads, steer masses to exact spectatoir points, place red bands further away - be smart. I do not get how FIA accepted their security plan, not requiring significant upgrade. Watch video from SD yesterday - you can see massive level of craziness and lack of control on very fast and dangerous places. This was coming, you could see it.

    Clearly organizer has not thought it all through. Very pity! Think from privateer positions - every km costs massive amount, you pay big entry fee, spend all the money for the race, but they can not think 3 steps ahead and secure safe event. Idiots are everywhere, but here i understand we have much bigger issues than just some drank fans. Just look how much of financial money thrown out the window for Sesks - 1km in that car for his sponsors cost a lot.

    My brother and some friends are there, went to 4 stages and are saying there were lots of marshals, like at every 50 meters everywhere they went. So lack of marshals is not the case.

    It's the WRC Promoter that is helping Sesks.

    They were saying they will do this in future in the statement that came out with the 2025-26 Rally1 Regs.

    Young guys need a chance and WRC1 needs a boost in Rally1 cars and fresh faces, so it's a win-win.
