Rally Fans Watch As Their Favorite Driver Crashes Before Their Eyes
Rally Fans Watch As Their Favorite Driver Crashes Before Their Eyes-September 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:45

This is impossibly sweet.

Here we see a bunch of fans of VW's Jari-Matti Latvala singing — actually singing — in praise of their favorite Flying Finn as he approaches in his Polo WRC car. And just as Jari-Matti passes his fans, he starts to slide off the road. JML nearly gets away with it. Nearly.

What's sweet is that as the car comes to a rest, you can already see swarms of fans rushing to his aid.

Jari-Matti lost eight minutes in this off, losing him a shot at the overall victory for the rally. It's a shame; he had very much been anticipating a win here in his fight for the 2015 championship.

Still, I can't help but smile when I see his singing fans run over to give him help.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Was The Best Part Of The F1 Australian Grand Prix
Arnold Schwarzenegger Was The Best Part Of The F1 Australian Grand Prix
The Formula One Australian Grand Prix itself was a bit of a turd, with more excitement over which unreliable car would drop out next than the actual racing. One man was there to save the day. One extraordinary man. I'm talking, of course, about the Governator, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Only eleven...

The Ultimate Porsche 944 Race Car Is For Sale Right Now
