kerrynzl 3 Report post Posted January 19, 2009 You have to check this out [ rallying 23 years ago ] They had a different sort of crowd control back then! The nearest thing to this in New Zealand is at the Whangamata "beach hop" when some pissed idiot does a burnout into the crowd Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Greg111 13 Report post Posted January 19, 2009 Ha so whose fault is it when one of them gets hit? Or in the case here where a whole bunch do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cale 36 Report post Posted January 19, 2009 Those rally drivers must have been extremely confident in their driving ability, and the spectators must have been even more! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kerrynzl 3 Report post Posted January 19, 2009 The Sad thing is all the politically correct F**kwits banned Group B Rally [ when the Video is quite clear at showing where the problem is ] "Ban Low Performance Drivers, ......Not High Performance Cars" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greg111 13 Report post Posted January 19, 2009 Bit ridiculas they didn't have some sort of crowd control, why ban the rally when they could put barriers etc up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nic325i 0 Report post Posted January 19, 2009 (edited) Crowd deaths were far from the only contributing factor though - see in particular Henri Toivonen. Rather sad, but still a shame they couldn't find a middle ground. Current WRCs are meant to be at least as fast due to superior turbo charging, better tyres, suspension etc. edited for spelling Edited January 19, 2009 by Nic325i Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
