    I just saw a real short video of the crash, it looked to me that the spectator was sitting 6-10 feet above the road when the crash occurred and he just fell
    off the rocks onto the road. It didn't look at all like the car struck him.

    I hope that the car didn't hit him & he just fell off his perch. That would be easier for Paddon to handle I think.

    Meeke's found a buried bolder under the snow. What a hit. Yikes! Winter slick roads with no snow banks for protection.

    Start time for the first stage today was delayed because of concerns re spectator locations. Marshalls went to work and Stage 9 ran rather than needing to be cancelled. :Thumbsup:

    I find it pretty amazing that even after a death spectators still stand on the road & in run off zones. :eek:ut:

    Man that Fiat really took a hard hit on the drivers door. Hope the driver is OK. OUCH!

    Meeke can't catch a break. At least this time he wasn't at fault...maybe.

    WRC2 and GT classes. Those 124s look like fun.

    That Porsche looks like such a handful. So much power & no traction. At least those Abarth's don't appear to have too much power. They do look like fun, rear drive = :arf:

    Ogier won the rally. Not a surprise given all his competitors had issues.

    The big surprises (to me): 1) Neuville in his Hyundai was able to both take and maintain a lead, and 2) Latvala took 2nd in the Toyota's first outing!
