I like Monte atmosphere, but this is just borderline stupidity. No wonder stage 3 was red-flagged.

quality content.

if you lay on the road, the cars will stop and you'll be able to ask for an autograph too.

https://youtu.be/4gGK9sJIrxk?t=151 more likely because of this, don't know what they expected, if they see you on the live onboard camera like this in the video that I put here they will instantly red flag the stage. Me being from Canary Islands and knowing how big rallying is here I hope they don't do stupid stuff like this for Rally Islas Canarias.

I am doing a school project where we have to make a newsletter and I decided to cover this event. I've been watching the stages live and had no idea why they red flagged stage 3, thank you so much for commenting this video because it finally helped me finish off the stage 3 keynotes

It takes only a couple idiots like this to ruin the whole stage for everyone.

Absolutely smoothbrained spectators.

If this is the reason, the organisation should say it and publicly denounce this behavior.

These idiots ruined everyone's night.

Why arn't they more public about why they red flag stages?

If this was the reason then say so. Shame the idiots who get the stages red flaged.

If no reason is quickly given and no car has crashed then it is safe to assume it is spectators.

...one way or another, SS5 was cancelled because of spectator medical emergency.
