Unfortunately bad crashes are a somewhat expected part of rally racing. I think I'd belong to the Colin McRae school of driving. If you can't win, destroy your car trying.

Yeah i remember bring this accident in the F&F thread (don't ask me why i did it there) but i watched the coverage last friday and damn, the way the engine went out like 13ft away from the car just shows you how dangerous this sport can be.

They showed in car video footage of this accident on the Speed Channel Saturday night. Basically he lost control and went straight on into a tree(s).

That is a very bad site to see. I saw the footage and to see the 4G63 on fire almost made me cry.
