Flying Toyota GR Yaris WRC rally car misses drunken, brawling spectators by seconds



For fans of the World Rally Championship, there's nothing like the ability to stand inches from a speeding car. The thrill of watching and cheering as some of the best drivers in the world hurl their vehicles down narrow dirt roads with no barricades at all is not possible in any other form of motorsport. Unfortunately, that also means the stupid behavior of just a handful of fans can put themselves and others in danger.

That's exactly what happened at Rally Croatia last weekend, when some spectators decided to start a little drunken brouhaha. Despite the best efforts from more level-headed bystanders and safety marshals who try to break up the fracas, the squabble spills into the rally stage. The idiots drag safety marshals and an officer into the path of the rally cars as well.
