[WRC] Tet Rally Latvia 2024

[ferrial]

It was already seen from Evans tv footage that the ropes broke off from the arc and the arc itself got damaged. The reaction time by the stewards and the race control centre was just too slow. Glad that nobody was hurt.

How the nominal times given? We have 3 drivers with 3 different times

Thankfully all ok. Awful bloody arches perched right on the edge of the road, make them wider if they need them for sponsors or keep them to straight sections/finishes.
For a split second I was fearing the worst when I saw images of Tanaks car draped in covers

People online questioning if the rally is safe when its without all camera's available for the organisers ?

Also all the lost audience figures without TV coverage....will Prompter pay back some damage to organizer?

Probably based on split times.

I wonder if instead nominal time given to those affected by that kind of incidents should be cut of the last sector to the finish. And then use time for all drivers for the last normal achieved sector. That means if there is 4 sectors and incident happen in the last (4/4), the time would be apply from 3/4 sector. It would be fair for everybody.

On one hand it makes me laugh that these things all the time happen with Tänak. The deer in Poland and now this here.

But on the other hand I’m super mad. They had static camera there and saw exactly what happened and that the arch was laying there and you do nothin?

Imagine if he we had to retire because of this and lost all todays points.

Oh boy. Amateur hour

Organizer of Rally Latvia is more experienced than numbers of ERC and WRC taken together. This should be counted as unprecedented event, with human error on the reaction time. But there should have been cameras and rally center should have seen it to make actions.
