Still growing I see?
You did a fantastic job with those mate. 
That is exactly why I added the tag. It's scary, really scary. The only hope I have is that most of the deceased did not have to suffer.I had a look through them. Rally fatalities = Collision with tree, collision with tree, collision with tree, collision with tree, collision with tree, spectator incident, collision with tree, spectator incident, spectator incident, collision with tree, collision with tree, collision with fence, collision with tree...
It's surprising how strong trees are - a 1,200kg rally car can hit one at 70mph and it won't even move. Accidents like these are a prime example of human failure in combination with bad, bad luck. I don't want to imagine the injuries the guard rail may cause.PTRACER wrote:I can't imagine they did suffer
Personally I think the most horrific crash of all is this one: http://www.the-fastlane.co.uk/cpdb/cras ... itid1=1882

I find it very interesting, but if you feel it's time to move on, feel free.hollie3sa wrote:This project doesn't have an end. Another 10 entries added over the last two weeks. And they all require minutes and hours of research.
I won't move on. But it's time for a break. Every new entry, if done correctly, needs about 30 minutes of research. Or more. Finding all available photographs. Finding them in the best qualitiy available, hopefully without a watermark. Putting them in a logical order (point of view/chronological). Foreign languages (For f***s sake, who the hell speaks Hungarian? Have you ever even tried to understand anything in Hungarian
) etc. The thing is, multiple people die in rally crashes every year, especially in obscure, unprofessional events in Eastern Europe. We can't hope to catch them all, nor is it, arguably, worth your time. That's not to undermine your work, because it has been exemplary.hollie3sa wrote: ↑3 years agoI won't move on.

tl; dr: I think I'm going to start another project soon. Not sure which one though.
Thanks!Motorsportrace wrote: ↑3 years agoI've added Immigrati's entry.
EDIT: added also Guglielmini, since, strangely, he wasn't already there.
Today, this would be here:While travelling at the wheel of her car along the public road between the villages of Moncalieri and Carignano, province of Turin, Italy [...]
I can tell you that the photo comes from "La Stampa".Maria Lissoni wrote: ↑1 year agoHi everybody,
I'm looking for more information about the car accident in which Marguerite Anne Delorme died (1954, Rallye Paris-St. Raphael)
I was asked by a friend, who's in contact with some descendents of Marguerite, because they don't know where exactly the car accident took place: I've made a web research and I have found only the photo published in this forum, that I re-post here below
Thank you for any help you can give me
Maria
