Rally Sweden, Home Of Eating It In A Snowbank
Rally Sweden, Home Of Eating It In A Snowbank-June 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:45

Whatever you do, don't hit the piles of white fluffy stuff by the side of the road. Here are the highlights from this weekend's Rally Sweden, in all their snowbank-plowing glory.

Kris Meeke hit a snowbank. Jari-Matti Latvala and Elfyn Evans both got stuck in snowbanks. I'm tellin' you, man, snowbanks are evil.

Snowbanks affected everybody, including the poduim. Sebastien Ogier edged out Volkswagen teammate Andreas Mikkelsen on the last stage after Mikkelsen hit a snowbank. Ogier had been coming back from hitting a snowbank the previous day, but when Mikkelsen hit one on the last stage, it was game over. Mikkelsen lost his lead and the win.

Let's also not forget Thierry Neuville, who not only jumping Colin's Crest, but was in the lead after Saturday. Unfortunately, his Hyundai didn't have quite the pace of the Volkswagens, and he soon lost that lead to Mikkelsen, who was eventually passed by Ogier. He did come in second after Mikkelsen ate that snowbank at the end, though.

World Rally Championship driver Thierry Neuville just destroyed the jump record at Colin's Crest…

Snowbanks, man. Snowbanks.

I am now the proud owner of a free, rare air-cooled Volkswagen race car, and I may or may not be completely over my head. I’m in the process of towing home the Volkswagen 411 we raced at Buttonwillow last weekend, and I’m pretty sure it’s marking its trail in...

A driver sponsored by rally champion Jock Armstrong wasn’t having a good race, so, like any good sponsor, Armstrong tried to help with a joke most of us left behind in our teen years: mooning him. But far worse than most kids face, Armstrong got hit with a $1,300 fine...
