^ haha, I'll never get it either...

That crash is intense. The driver must have just blacked out or something, I can't imagine mentally dealing with that many rolls while it was happening.

Marko Martin had one of the nastiest crashes I've ever seen back in 05 or 06. Wide open, top gear, in the Focus, came over a small crest, and the car just stared tumbling end over end. It wasn't as dramatic as this, but there was a ton of kinetic energy to displace.

*edit* Found a vid:

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.



If I recall, one of the few crashes I've seen where you could see the cage deforming on the in car, though I may be was Solberg's from Germany in 2004.

YouTube - Rally Germany 2004 Petter Solberg's Huge Hinkelsteine Crash

Gronholmn was also famous for rolling his car down the sides of hills, righting the car, and then yelling at the spectators to figure out which was was forward.

Damn, that Hinkelsteine crash was intense. I am gonna go out on a limb and say that I would not like to navigate for Petter.

I can't imagine how that feels like to flip a car that many times and a hard impact. I could only imagine my dialouge.

French or Finnish that up a bit, and that is mostly what you hear the co-drivers say.

Anyone remember the crash at Rally Great Britain, i think, in around 03-05, where a Mitsubishi Evo came around, caught a root, tore off the ENTIRE front left suspension/wheel/brake/control arm assembly, then the car started spinning, throwing the motor out of the car, leaving it in the middle of the stage? I can't find a video. That was a nasty crash.

Fuck, I miss watching WRC.
