Glad he and his codriver is ok though. Sucks the car is trashed, won't be making the stages. Rallying isn't exactly bombing around deserted hangars and barrels and cones and 2 wheel personal mobility devices! LOL

What was that quote from Mario Andretti..."sometimes you gotta bring back a just a steering wheel so the sponsors know you're trying." There's also - "If everything seems under control, you're not going fast enough."

That's quite a roll. I think I counted 3.75 complete rollovers.

damn right! Yeah the initial flip is just crazy! It's crazy how well built rally cars are though.

I want that shirt, if it is one

In rallying, you're gonna wreck at some point. I can remember watching footage from the old Group B cars, they seemed to disintegrate on impact. The newer cars seem a lot safer.
