I hope to see a future GRM article on that man, his car, and his WRC experience.

Check out the specialstage thread on the same topic for a picture of tracks left by the wheel-off-the-bridge awesomeness...

Post #28. I'm pretty sure you can see a chunk missing out of the concrete where the control arm made contact (the car would have been traveling in the direction towards the photographer).

Seriously, please do an article on him, this has to make the mag, if ever there was a reason to stick even a picture of a car in the mag with a GRM sticker on it, here it is...

In reply to 2002maniac: Most of the other cars in the Rally America class were late-model Mitsibushi Evo, Peugeot 206 and Renault Clio Sport AWD rally cars. http://www.rallymexico.com/content.php?page=rally%20America

That's just fantastic. A big thumbs up. I love the way it was reported, sleep-deprived and slightly askew emails from the road.

And remember everyone, read the specialstage thread for the details on their trip JUST getting there. It'll open some eyes!

One of the coolest stories I have ever read. Some people think about what would be cool to do, other people DO what would be cool to do.
