You know… Someone finds a nice corner to see crashes and calls to his/her friend somewhere nearby and he/she calls again to his/her friend… spreading the info is the key :) In the races like these it’s an honour for spectators to help guys back on track and continue to the race… depending of course the condition of your car. Normally after couple of special stages you have a time and chance to fix your car again and continue the race. I have been in a races like this several times and it’s quite interesting to see how creative the guys are when fixing their cars :)

BTW, if you want to enjoy a REAL rally experience, you should travel to Finland in the beginning of August to see the Neste Rally Finland, which is part of the WRC tour. All the best drivers of the world are there. Roads covered with gravel, high and jumps, fast corners, highest average speed of all WRC races during the year and crash outs/turn overs… I’ll be there for sure, I have been there almost every year after 1981 and will be in the future as well. Of course timing of summer vacation can have some impact on that, unfortunately…

BTW, this video shot was taken in one of the races that is part of the Finnish Junior Championships. You know, guys who have not been driven rally for so many years yet. Cars are not that expensive and guys are mostly building those by themselves according to the rules and regulations of course. I have couple of friends who take apart to this championship tournee every year… In Finland, where I come from, rally is really popular. Basically, every weekend there is a race somewhere in Finland even during winter time when you have more than 1 meter snow and temperature is even less than -20C. Of course roads are clear from snow, but there is a lot of ice on the roads and guys/gals are using tires with 5 mm spikes :) You can check e.g.

to see how many different type of races you can find in finland during one year. And in Finland you can buy dvds including the best crashes/turnovers of the season :)

Laughing at car accidents is cool. Especially if they happen right in front of you.
