Holy hell that’s some amazing footage watching that from the hood. Must be one of the coolest feelings in the world to be in the drivers shoes seeing people so enthusiastically cheering, even in the middle of the night in complete darkness.

[@piimii55]

I am sure the drivers would prefer the spectators would stay further away from the road though. They must feel quite anxious at being so close to chopping off people's hands. I know I would be. Also you can see in some of the onboards that the drivers are forced to stay quite far away from the guard rail, because of the fans of course.

It's better for focus. Rally is loud sport in it's nature so it doesn't matter if fans are shouting or not.

[@sugoruyo]

Rallying is more dangerous than most people realise. I’ve been a spectator, a marshal and even a driver in some local ones. Your life depends on the marshal and mechanics doing their jobs right, you not making grave errors and the fans not doing anything too stupid. And, still, a random bird or cow, a rock slide or even just a rock could send you off a cliff or impaled on a tree. The reason you don’t see people dying all the time (anymore) is because of consistently good organising, wrenching and driving and fans limiting themselves to not doing incredibly stupid things, just mildly stupid. End of the day, there’s little room left for ego when you have all these things to worry about.

[@Deadsphere]

Rally fans are some of the most unhinged people in motorsports and I love it.

[@CD-Gaming]

Group B fans: "Hold our beers!" Rally fans: "We're the same people!" Group B fans: "No! No, we're not!"

That looks like the special level you unlock in a video game.

[@krazed0451]

I'm all for fans lining the course, but the flares might be overdoing it a smidge xD

[@Streetw1s3r]

Especially when the smoke goes across the road and obscures the view for the driver, it becomes a safety issue.

Man, the WRC game has really let down the sport. Imagine if they could even capture half of this environment.

[@rhysbobaggins3585]

Well the obvious difference is, that if a crowd member messes up a tennis player; the results could be fatal but if they mess up a rally driver; worst is they could miss their shot.

[@ivanov4999]

Actual telemetry on the brakes? Awesome!

[@andyy348]

Not sure why there's a comparison between Rallying and Tennis, completely different sports. I'm sure tennis players could play with noise (if it was consistent) but prefer it without noise, just like I'm sure these drivers would prefer not having fireworks and crowd leaning over barriers so they can concentrate better. I think a better comparison would be with F1 where no such thing would be allowed even though they're more similar sports.

I did drive on the same streets at bright daylight in the summer and I could never be as fast. I have 10 years of experience on race tracks with historic cars, but this is just insane. They do this at night at the Col de Turini in the winter. More often than enough there is snow and the fans are also spilling water on the turns, so it gets extra icy and slippery.
