What a trainwreck! I feel sorry for the drivers who had to compete on this course. But this is what happens when you take a sport designed to be run in the forest, and put it inside a friggin football stadium

I'll bet none of them ever autocrossed. They get practice laps fer chrisakess, with co-drivers, and this is a major event - then something like 3 of the first 6 cars goes off-course. X-games, doh!

My understanding is they switched the layout/dirrection of the course 3 times, they went 1 way for practice, another for qualifying, the another for the brackets.......
I got a little nervous when the 2 drivers passed each other, had either one been slightly too agressive at that spot it would've been ugly....

Well, there was some real rallying going on today. It was in Finland though:

Super rally was almost as big of a mess.
Someone needs to lose their job.

That was just one big retarded mess. A complete embarrassment to Rally as a motorsport.

Oh well, what do we expect from a generation that wears their hats sideways and their pants down around their knees?

Now if I could only get them to stay off my lawn and take those darned skateboards somewhere else!
