I've caught up on the coverage from Chile this evening - looked to have been a good event, if anything it reminded me of rally GB. As you say Neuville's accident was huge (Solberg in Germany was the other that sprang to mind in addition to your two ) and it was good to see the crew get out relatively unscathed. Neuville's championship assault took a big hit as well - Tanak and Ogier picked up big scores this weekend and have jumped Neuville in the standings.
