Overdriving Crash Sends Rally Car Four Wheels In To The Air
Overdriving Crash Sends Rally Car Four Wheels In To The Air-June 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:48

This weekend's season-concluding Wales Rally GB could have been called Overdriving: The WRC Event. Here's what happened when one driver pressed a little bit too hard.

You're watching Kris Meeke () desperately trying to move himself up past Mikko Hirvonen, only a few seconds ahead of him in the standings.

Meeke did not move past Mikko.

Acutally, Meeke was faster on this stage than Hirvonen by a couple seconds, but the damage to his car in this into-the-ditch excursion slowed him down significantly thereafter.

This copy of the WRC's broadcast dubs over Meeke's in-car dialogue, but the TV broadcast gave him a healthy expletive deleted bleep on that second impact.

When he crossed the finish line for that stage, Meeke stated, "I think I picked up some grass on the right front."

Who needs a BMW-sourced V12 when you can shove a 600-horsepower Mitsubishi 4G63 in the engine bay? This de-stroked Mitsu engine revs to over 9500 rpm, and powers KOMVET Racing’s hillclimb car to tremendous pace. It doesn’t hurt that the whole thing is carbon fiber and weighs just 1565...
