Latvala in Rally Portugal. Big crash, down a very big hill. Both driver and co-driver survive. Roll cages really are quite strong these days… but I imagine the headache is still quite severe.

    That’s a ’stop the world, I want to get off’ moment if I ever saw one. Theme parks would never be the same again.

    18 rolls if I remember correctly and they walked away. For once, H&S is actually a pro rather than a con.

    Amazing that didn’t get hurt.

    Check this link to see sheikh Mohamed Bin Sulayem race in an Renault F1 against some supercars from his personal collection. Bin Sulayem is 14 time middle east rally champion, but he must brush up his F1 skills!

    Saw it on Dave. More rolls than someone from Florida!

    0:57 – If they fixed the body to be that shape though, it’d be more aerodynamic. Just whack on a spoiler and, er, a bit of front end bodywork…

    I guess they’re glad it was a hill instead of a ravine! ;)

    18 rolls! Does that mean they have broken the record set on Top Gear with the Sierra then?
