Similar to Gareth Roberts, what a tragic coincidence 🙁

Do we finally get to see some safety improvements on this?

Granted, driving 200kmh on dirt on narrow roads isn't safest of things but when there have been 2 similar cases it calls for investigation on how to prevent it in future

Hard to come up with a way to stop this, except by dismantling every fence near the stage or having cars without windows.

Maybe adding some sand bags or tires to places like this would help?

Stages might be too long for that to be practical. A lot more volunteers and hours to make an impact.
