If you check the onboard in SS4/8 at 5:10 you can see that spot, it's silly but not really dangerous, extremely little chance of the car going there

Don't need to see it to consider what would happen with a little part of a car going there, even a loose wheel nut if the car was being driven perfectly on line past, with the guy having nowhere to move his head.

It's a stupid position and an odd thing to protest.

That can happen anywhere, in Estonia someone got hit in a spectator zone near a junction. You never see a rock coming before it's too late anyway, i was super lucky i Spain 18 on shakedown standing well above the road when a rock knocked my camera sunscreen off. I'm not protesting it being dumb, but use some common sense and find the real facts of the location before you as the FIA try to start a hate train against someone, luckily the FIA gets told off pretty well in the comments regarding safety in F1

This forum is great, because I don't have a lot people around which are a true hardcore fan as I am. I mean I talk to people on work about this but they just know nd barely watch WRC, but don't know any insight as here people do. It just I don't always have time to watch it live, so I don't even come to forum to not spoil it for myself. Otherwise if I'm fully into it I have multiple screens and I'm engaged in it. If we ever meet somewhere we will surely drink a beer

I agree and still love the Forum to see people's comments and opinions, including in real-time during a rally.

It's a shame the Forum plays up a lot nowadays but sometimes it's still pretty good and fast. I hope it doesnt put people off completely.

And about the number of posts, like in this thread, maybe the fact a divisive guy like Ogier wasnt competing reduced the comments. Plus old Tanak and Rovanpera fans wont be so engaged any more.

But anyway... keep the forum faith ! :)

PS.
The threads of the earlier Round's have been pretty similar... Safari 26 pages, Sweden 29 pages, only Monte with 66 pages was much more.

Perhaps the good old followers brought up in the day of clambering through mud and bush to access the stages rather than gratifying themselves from the comfort of a screen have either fallen off their perch or are now resident in the home for the berwikded and are no longer able to participate

Something as simple as a forgotten password is an obstacle even.
 
We can say much about todays state of rallying, but the pickems after croatia is atleast surprising!

I did - once!

In the 1980's sitting among the trees at the side of one of the Clocaenog stages on the Lombard RAC Rally. A Quattro kicked up a rock the size of my fist. It came towards me from my left as the car had just passed me. I managed to move my head back just in time so that it passed a couple of centimetres in front of my nose.
