Peter Solberg WRC Rallye Crash

When in doubt , just keep going till you hit something.

 

Sometimes these guys just forget they have brakes.

 

Seems like if he had his foot odd the gas, the vines would have stopped him before the pole.

That's rallying - if you're going to do stupid things like taking your foot off the accelerator pedal, just because of something trivial*, you're never going to win enough to make it to the top.

* Examples of 'trivial' things that shouldn't stop a good rally driver are:
- being 20 feet off the road, down a ditch you can't see out of (hey, enough throttle may get you out of the ditch...);
- losing one wheel (OK, I admit, losing two is a problem);
- not having either oil or coolant in the motor (you never know, the motor might just last to the end of the stage and your mechanic is bound to have a spare one in his toolbox....).

Hands up those who saw Loeb getting angry with the Welsh police when they told him his three-wheeled car was not in a roadworthy-enough condition to drive on open public roads back to the service park a few years ago.

:deadhorse:

For once, this is the perfect smilie - if a car can move 10 more feet under its own power, a rally driver will do it.

 

^^^ Yep that's it. :yesnod:

 

Accelerator pedal got caught on the floor mat.
