I see Philip Allen crashed again in Canarias WRC2 . How can he keep going like this both mentally and financially ?!

I'm more worried about how he can keep going like this physically. Motorsport is dangerous, crashing this absurd amount of times... I hope he won't have a serious one, neither sooner nor later.

It's good business for the family business.

Seems more the legal side now than repairs. He'll be claiming off himself ?!

I'm only adding to the bantz, making no allegations.

 

[Fast-Eddie]

He crashed again on Sunday. Crazy.

 

[focus206]

I don't recall any driver at international level that crashed this much... Duval was mr. consistency in comparison. I don't mean to bash Allen, I don't dislike him, it's just worrying.

Dear Lord... I hope for his sake he'll decide to go down to Rally3, if he wants to compete internationally.
Looking at his profile on ewrc, he never competed with any FWD car, he went straight to four wheel drive cars, I wonder if it has something to do with all these crashes.

 

[Jarek Z]

Do you remember what he said when competing in ERC last year?

"This year, I just want to be fast. I don’t care so much about the end result. If we’re not on it – banging in top four or five times then I have absolutely no interest. I’d rather be a bit quicker and be in there [the bushes] than be slow and not in there."

 

[WRCStan]

And also how long before other crews get pissed off with cancelled stages he causes? That's not OK.

 

[Fast-Eddie]

His co-driver must be the bravest man in rallying !

 

[saco0o]

maybe nobody told him that "flat out all the time" is just an expression hehe nobody is actually flat out all the time
haha but hey, if hes healthy and have the money for all the crashes, who are we to stop him? =P

also - thers something on those mcrae's myths about "winning or crashing out" that some rally blokes tend to take way too seriously sometimes and its also not truuuue. Colin was a master of finishing P4 haha

 

[Sal yet again]

Sadly something appears to have happened in the wake of Sierra Morena that has seen the split between the winner of the event Suarez and the Recalvi team with which he has had so much success:
