These Guys Earn Their Pay

Those stones were designed to keep tanks on the road.  When a rally car hits them it's game over.  I doubt they will use those roads again.  Solberg and Mills were lucky to survive that unhurt.

I'm not familiar with this sport, why the two drivers?

I think I saw an SRV photo on the dash.

They race on public roads.  Each event is several hundred miles, so they can't memorize the whole course.  They get to drive it once in a road car, aka "recce", and take pace notes.  The co-driver reads back the notes.

Earned his pay?  He ran into a concrete block off on the side of the road...sounds like something my sister would do.  Maybe she should be a rally driver!

He crashed, what, 10 seconds after the start of that link?  He needs better notes.

I woulda preferred an external view, it looked pretty spectacular.

Diablo it was wet and he was on worn tires.  He just overcooked it.  With those stones if you go an inch off line it's over.

DeJaVu......there must be a glitch in the matrix

rally is the eurotard version of the less boring USA oval racing.
