Chunder you are talking B0ll0cks. Changes had to made to British Rallying, following the tragic events on the Jim Clark Rallying in 2014. It is far from panic stations, just read the recommendations from the Scottish government. Their is still to be the Fatal accident inquiry into 4 deaths on Scottish rallies. Some of us still don't know if we will have to attend and some officials (unpaid volunteers) still don't know if they will face criminal prosecutions. So please don't tell me it is panic stations.
Having actually been on 3 rallies over the last few weekends I have yet to see any 18 yard boxes. Yes there are areas where we don't want spectators, but we are certainly not excluding them. On one junction I was at on Saturday we must of had upwards of 200 spectators none complained about being "hemmed in" Just as an aside one of those spectators was Malcolm Wilson.
