And now Meeke is out as well and the Hyundais are currently 1 & 2! Latvala and Meeke crash in Germany (WRC.com)
Great breakthrough win for Hyundai. The fact much of their competition ended up in the ditch shouldn't diminish their feat. Well done guys!
New view of Latvala's late off. So, who reimburses the vineyard owner? [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1-EttsHRkw"]WRC Germany - Latvala Crash - YouTube[/ame]
As far as I'm concerned the lawsuit topic shouldn't enter into it, there shouldn't even be any need. Someone does significant damage to property and livelihood of another, something ought to be done about it without anyone even asking much less demanding. Should apply to all sorts of things, not just damage done by racing. If someone drives his car into your living room, wouldn't it be right of you to expect him to take responsibility or be held responsible if he doesn't? Seems to me locals should be able to expect damage done along a route to be repaired (or at least paid for), I'm just wondering who, if anyone, agrees to deal with damage post-rally. I've wondered the same in the past about damaged buildings, bridges and even the loose surface roads they practically ruin. Or am I just naive to think people should take responsibility for their actions? I've pretty much always assumed the local organizer is the responsible party.
