That was a close one for Meeke, he went off in one of the last corners and rearranged the back of a spectators VW before finding his way back on course for the win.

Well, Meeke did well, but not this car. A memory of what might not be.

Either way cool stuff

Where do you even get to watch WRC anymore?

Also, wow those cars are surprisingly nimble.

Redbull TV has you covered for daily highlights and live stages

WRC 2017 Redbull TV

I'm not sure how long the events stay available but it looks like you can't watch the first two anymore, you can watch all the Rally Mexico coverage though. WRC Plus which is a paid subscription offers all past events, highlights and all on board cameras for every stage.

So who paid for the spectators car that got crunched.

At Targa Newfoundland, I believe the event carried insurance for this. Teams had to have higher liability levels than usual as well. I don't remember the details.

In some rally and Dakar and Baja events it's "park your car near the course at your own risk". You get jack if you get jacked.

The risk of death and dismemberment is part of the fun watching a rally live.

La carrera estan muy bueno! But in all seriousness racing through the Zócalo is pretty snazzy. America would never let you do something like that.

Imagine a rally on DC's roads around the capital building...

In reply to fidelity101:

D.C. has/had some good parkways/roads but they've been slowly giving them over to cyclists. Operative word being slowly as you can spend more money that way. Klingle road being the most egregious example.

I love the sport of rallying and always will. But those cars are not fun to watch.
