I was being provocative with that, and I do understand their utter paranoia after the Jim Clark incident a few years ago.

But doing what they have done has simply excluded so many people from being able to watch rallying.

Events like the Wyedean, Jim Clark and a few others were fraught as you had local towns nearby, folk knew what was going on and they would wander into the forests to see what was going on. They had no clue on safety, where to stand, why you should or shouldn't stand here or there etc.

The marshalling could not cope so you had the odd incident.

I get that, but to just make it almost impossible for spectators to attend seems ridiculous.

MSA wants no spectators, they are a pain to them, all they want is bloody marshals, timekeepers, clubs and ARDS tests to make them money, I didn't know you even have to do a rally ARDS test now!
