Very nice! So you and @Jesper Hvid will be working together, as has also been an editor there.
Kinda. I have access to add new entries and correct existing ones. Some things, like adding new series and racing venues, are secured by "Big Bosses" (Nanni and Sal).

I know that they have two main problems - search function and inability to add new editors. Probably Sal updated MM so both problems were fixed, but I don't know all details.hollie3sa wrote: ↑3 years agoSurely you've earned your spot there @SedreSedre wrote: ↑3 years agoKinda.

Do you know what happened that they finally fixed the search function?

The accident happened at around 3.30 p.m. local time during the first special stage, San Salvador da Torres - Amonde 1. The Mitubishi Lancer Evo X (#27), driven by Portuguese duo Ricardo Barbosa/Cátia Longo went straight in a left hand turn in the town of São Lourenço da Montaria. It left the track and ran over the unfortunate spectator who was standing in an authorized area.
Despite the immediate interventions of the race doctor and paramedics of the Instituto Nacional de Emergência Médica (INEM), the spectator succumbed to his injuries at the scene of the accident.
The name of the victim, which was reported to be from Guimarães, was not released. He was either 65 or 71 years old.
As a sign of respect, the rally was eventually suspended and restarted only the next day.

Notes:
A fatal accident that resulted in the death of a spectator marred the 7th edition of the Rali de Viana do Castelo.
On July 7th, at around 3:30 pm, the #27 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X, driven by Portuguese duo Ricardo Barbosa/Cátia Longo went out of control during the first special stage São Salvador da Torre / Amonde 1. The car left the road on the outside of a left hand curve and hit an elderly spectator who was watching the race from an authorized area. The man was immediatly attended by the medical crew of the INEM (National Institute of Medical Emergency) but they could do nothing to save his life. The unfortunate spectator died at the scene.
The accident happened in the municipality São Lourenço da Montaria.
Out of respect for the victim, the rally was immediatly suspended (and eventually resumed on Sunday/abandoned)
The unnamed spectator lived in Guimarães. Several sources reported different ages of the victim, ranging from 62 to 71 years.

Huh? I have never seen anyone who has failed to make that distinction...
Perhaps not posted to this forum, but I've just gone through a list of submissions for inclusion at Motorsport Memorial that failed to make that distinction for rallying. The same list has similar issues with karting, but we haven't tackled those yet.
I'm the one who did not know the situation with American rallying. Honestly, I believed that rallies simply were not popular in comparison to other car racing categories in the US and for a long time they had amateur rallies organized by local sports car clubs.
