Neste Rally Finland, 2009


This is something we already did a couple of weeks ago when there was a World Rally Championship event in Finland. We drove some 300 kilometres (200 miles) northwards into a forest to watch cars slides and jump through narrow gravel roads at speeds close to 200 kilometers per hour (120 MPH+). When I was a kid we lived nearby the annual event and went everytime. 25 years later the cars still seem travelling at warp factor 9...

... until things don't go as planned, like in the end of this video of a Russian driver Evgeny Novikov. His co-driver must be the bravest man in the world.
