  1. Massive innovations tough racing. But total lack of safety was too much price and did kill this "free for all" extreme . However the public on rally circuits remains an issue in many places. I had a severe issue once. Normally all roads and side access means are closed to non rally related drivers. At minimum signs are placed to warn of rally in progress. I once came out of a rather tight overgrown track in my Nissan Patrol MQ Diesel 1980 model. I drovevalong a dirt road in the mountain forest, to suddenly be confronted by a speeding rally car. To their luck I had heard loud motor noise and reacted on seeing colours flashing in the forest ahead, drove my 4x4 into roadside ditch in time for the rally driver to passby at speed drifting through a corner. Avoiding an otherwise major head on crash. Due to gap between rally vehicles I managed to detour about 1km further along into another 4WD track that did have a Rally Running sign. Later went to the rally headquarters to report the failed fully marking the active rally. They had heard of the near collision and were very happy to have an explanation of how I happened to be there. All was happily resolved, and no arguments re suited. I actually spoke to the two of that rally car. All smiles there too.
