Like, you don't see that much in WRC crowds

I'm amazed there hasn't been more fatalities TBH. Cancelled stages seem to be getting more plentiful these days though

The marshall should have known better, standing on the outside of a corner in the run off area, he was even in a taped off area or box junction. DOPE.

One lucky marshall!!

I remember seeing that on TV. They tell you where not to stand and stand there themselves.

I try and get by a tree most times, especially after the episode with Ari Vatanen.
