Rally fans’ thirst to be as close to the action as feasible ensures a visceral spectator expertise, but exposes them to intense danger when issues go wrong. This is absolutely nothing new, mind you. If anything, it was far worse in the Group B era, where the cars had been at their most effective and the fans seemingly at their most reckless.
Understanding that fans choose dumb viewing spots doesn’t make it any significantly less jarring when things jump ugly, nonetheless, and that’s exactly what occurred over the weekend at the Jolly Rally in Italy’s Aosta Valley. The Clio Super 1600 you’re about to watch is manned by driver Piero Scavone and navigator Diego D’Hérin. And those fans . . . nicely, they’re about to be more involved than they ever anticipated:

Miraculously, no 1 was hurt, even though a single of the girls who had the automobile fly overhead apparently (and understandably) fainted. Scavone and D’Hérin were taken to the hospital for tests but are reportedly okay, based on Italian media reports. And those spectators? All are most likely underwear buying as we speak.
Select your vantage points wisely, rally fans.
