BBC News - Three dead after Scottish car rally collisions

Having attended the Granite City rally on a few occasions over the years, I'm sorry to say but this sort of thing was bound to happen someday.
People standing on the outside of corners when asked not to.
Standing too close even on straight parts of the rally course.
Basically standing in silly places where they are in the firing line.
I used to stand behind a tree where possible!! Or high up on a bank.

Sad stuff.

Sad stuff.

I used to chase rallies. Down in the Borders was rich pickings for me and my camra, a 600mm lens, power wind and ultra fast film I could get up close and personal without it being dangerous.

Spectators respected the marshalls who were shit hot at their job, can't say what its like now. The folk at the Mediterranean rallies have always been nuts and maybe some of this has crept in.
