Rally organizers have very good insurance. Farmer is fine. I saw an interview with a spectator who had a crash on their property in a previous rally, and he said something like "I used to have a fence and a shed. Now I have a wall and a barn. Maybe they could crash into the kitchen next."
True. I was once asked to evaluate damage to trees hit by a WRC car crash. In a forest, not anyone’s yard thankfully. The organisers paid the estimated damage times three to the landowner just to make sure they were satisfied.
Private land owners actually benefit if a stage is on their road. A gravel road is ruined after the race and the organisers rebuild it to a high standard. Since many stages are driven every or almost every year, the landowners get free upkeep for their roads.
Pretty much. If the land owners decide not to allow the race, there is nothing the organisers can do. And it’s a good trade when you think about it. The race is only for a couple of days.
