N.B. If you want to see the impact the Impreza had with the Golf from a better angle, click on the first suggested video afterwards.

Well holy shit. I thought the Golf almost rubbing its license plate on the camera was bad, but that really shouldn't have happened. Alert them further down the road FFS! Although, I do wonder why the Lancer spotted it and not the Impreza...

The article reminded me of the only rally I've ever been to (don't look at me like that, they're usually really far away), where I was at a 1st-gear hairpin corner. The escape road wasn't very long considering the downhill-slope-into-curved-braking-zone that lies before it and had a tree trunk across it so the rally cars couldn't slide straight into the spectators' car park, but the signs clearly said where you can and can't stand - it wasn't rigid, just some red highlighted areas to avoid like the outside and exit of the corner.

The marshals were Polish, spoke in quite sketchy English, and quickly got pretty drunk. Thus, their enforcing of the rules on dangerous standing areas was weak. A number of people were standing in the escape road behind the tree trunk and didn't bat an eyelid when rally cars came hurtling towards them. I like having the freedom to cross the track when nothing's coming to get a different or better view and stuff, but when the 'safety marshals' are drunk and singing, it just seems like a little too much freedom...

Most of the spectators knew what they were doing though, so it wasn't as bad as it could've been.
