Rally Co-Driver Barely Keeps His Shit Together When His Driver Flies Off Course Into A Parking Lot
Rally Co-Driver Barely Keeps His Shit Together When His Driver Flies Off Course Into A Parking Lot-July 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:24

On the last stage of Rally Mexico, Citroën driver Kris Meeke plowed right off the stage road and into a parking lot. It looked like something straight out of Forza Horizon, yet he . That detour produced some of the most incredible in-car audio of the year, especially from Meeke’s shocked codriver Paul Nagle.

You can see Meeke hit a bump which upset his car mid-turn, flinging it off the road, through some scrubby trees and into a parking lot on the other side.

“Jesus Christ, Kris,” Nagle says as they fly through the trees. “Oh no!”

Despite Meeke asking, “How am I going to get out of here?” and getting what sounds like either “I, uh” or “I dunno” from his codriver, they eventually spot a break in the trees and get back on the road.

Perhaps the best bit is at the end, though, when they were certain that they’d lost until they were greeted by a cheering crowd who indicated otherwise.

“What are we doing?” asks Meeke after the stage was over. “I don’t know,” says Nagle.

Sounds about right.

It Took A Legendary Woman To Demolish Bernie Ecclestone's Dumb Sexist Comment
It Took A Legendary Woman To Demolish Bernie Ecclestone's Dumb Sexist Comment
It’s almost a non-story when Formula One head troll makes an embarrassing, sexist comment lately. Unfortunately, racing legend Mario Andretti made some facepalm-worthy statements in agreement this time, too. Then three-time NHRA drag racing champion Shirley Muldowney put it all in perspective. You see, Ecclestone has become a bit like...

Praise Be To Catch Fence For Doing Its Job In This Crazy Stadium Super Truck Roll
We love because they do everything bigger and crazier—even with wipe-outs and camera angles of said wipe-outs. Enjoy this harrowing ride-along aboard a truck that gets thrown into a catch fence. Driver Pat O’Keefe doesn’t land quite right after the first jump, and his truck hasn’t quite settled in before...

The Grand Prix Of Long Beach Was The World's Harshest Massage Chair
This weekend, IndyCar heads to the butter smooth surface at Barber Motorsports Park. Last weekend’s street course at Long Beach, however, was a rough-and-tumble riot of a thing, and the series stuck a camera on Graham Rahal’s helmet that proves it. Come along for a wild ride. Welcome to ,...

Jari-Matti Latvala Rolls Out Of Rally Argentina Lead Like A Bowling Ball
There’s an old Beavis and Butt-Head where the dynamic duo decides to try out a dryer’s spin cycle by climbing inside.
