The helicopter/drone pilot was definitely at half-staff, at minimum, when they were getting this shot.

That is a breathtaking view. Seems like a bad place for that guy to be standing though.

Yeah, as a track official I kinda winced. No way in hell am I going to stand at the end of a straight or outside apex of a corner.

or you could be unaware of the turn and plummet off that big beautiful cliff to a big beautiful world of hurt.

Yeah, seems like a flag could serve the same purpose (for driver visibility) and that he could be in a safer spot.

Rally Azores I think. It’s part of a European rally series, but not WRC.

Yeah, I think you’re right.

They also designed the course to have a blind 90 degree corner at the top of a hill with a sheer drop and no runoff on the other side.
Safety Third!

Yeah, the course design, while beautiful, probably wasn’t the smartest.

I’ve driven that road!* It’s spectacular.
*I did not go above perhaps 30mph in my rental diesel Opel with my wife.

I needed a little motivating message, just hit the spot, cheers!

Glad to be of service.
