Yeah from what i read it there was two seperate crashes one earlier in the day one person in hospital ... then the 2nd one was the fatalities ... its sad but to be realistic you got to be aware of the risks involved standing a few feet away from a car going flat out .... i think its going to be group b all over again ...

Yeah it's a real shame when stuff like this happens as the safety bods start clamping down on everything and ruining the sport

At the end of the day I feel sorry for the families of the people killed but that's the risk, we're not kids and it's up to people if they choose to take that risk not to be decided by a bunch of safety conscious bureaucratic nerds who want everyone and everything wrapped in cotton wool, and that's what's gonna happen now.

Thoughts are going out to all there families John indri was running in this event and I heard about it happening yesterday. Not good. The safety over here is a lot more strict than some countries but you still know the risks when you go! Might not always be driver error mechanical faults can cause big problems and accidents too!

Of course its a real shame and although you know the risks you dont expect shit to happen ... but things go wrong and as bob has said like my previous post regarding the group b ... health and safety will be all over it and ruin such events for the future ...

There's a lot of things happen at the ashphalt Tarmac rally's that goes unheard of too!
I guess you don't expect it to happen to you do you when you go!
alof of the Tarmac rally's are not spectator friendly as they don't have the funds to control the crowds properly which is a real shame as would be good to go watch more of them!
