    Riku Tahko was running 2nd overall in his Prodrive MINI. Then...this happened.

    It's unfortunate but made for a spectacular short video.

    Wow! So here's a little evidence he actually knows what he's doing.

    Less wheels spin. I figure that was a smart move. Drove that stage well, wonder what happened later?

    The second video, the onboard, is from the Shakedown. He was doing well in the rally itself, second through the midday point on Day 1 at least. Don't know when/where that first vid is from.
