No 928 content, sorry!
Hi,
Sorry about this post without 928 content.
I think everybody knows or have heard about Ken Block, the drifting driver.
Well, he was supposed to participate in the ally of Portugal, which is happening this weekend in my country, but, unfortunately when he was making the road recognition last Thursday he had a serious accident and as destroyed his Ford Fiesta, so no Portuguese Rally for him.
Both the driver and co-driver are ok.

That's why they have safety equipment and roll cages. Glad nobody was hurt.
I am amazed that more spectators aren't bashed into at those things.
Seems that every driver has a niche venue. It has a LOT to do with the team and not just the driver.

Amend course notes to include just a little less lock, and need a slightly earlier turn-in. Oh, and one less Monster Energy Drink.

I'm amazed at the skill of the WRC drivers and the number of accidents they seem to avoid. Many videos show spectators standing in some of tje most vulnerable positions, assuming that of course the drivers will cause the car to go exactly where they want them to go, and there will be no danger. Meanwhile the safety equipment regs must be pretty comprehensive; I'd have more than a stiff neck after that triple-gainer with a two-and-a-half twist.
