WoW, that cage is F'd. Link to the thread that has more info on the damage?

BTW, I attended a rally down in Yuma Arizona a couple years ago. There was a Subie which had a pretty drastic crash at high speed. The two occupants walked away, and the cage looked perfect(carnage looked similar to Latvala's car above). For these types of events, it has to be done right, or you are likely going to be a Darwin candidate.

I think the fact that most of it was paved this year caused some unexpected problems. I bet they'll make a lot of changes next year. Sounds like there were a lot of safety issues with the cars and spectators.
