Thierry Neuville's Rally Car Flies Better Than Most Planes
Thierry Neuville's Rally Car Flies Better Than Most Planes-July 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:45

World Rally Championship driver Thierry Neuville just destroyed the jump record at Colin's Crest during Rally Sweden with a 44-meter tribute to the art of flight. It's so direct. Smooth. Fast. Why go down the hill when you can simply fly over it?

That's about 144 feet of glorious, glorious air time. That's a little over twenty-seven mes. The slow-mo is even better. Jumping a car makes you feel like everything's a little weightless until you touch down on the ground. Marvel in awe at the vaguely Hyundai-shaped peanut flying effortlessly through the air.

This car proves that you don't really need a plane to fly. Most plane rides I've been on are nowhere near this smooth. Clearly, I need to travel via rally car instead.

Rally Sweden continues throughout this weekend.

All The Cool Cars From Today's Nürburgring 24 Practice
That’s a Motörhead 1 Series at the Nürburgring, and no, there will be no more mention of in this post, because I’ll have plenty about Jim and Co. later. Also, no Nissan GT-R either, because for some reason, I’m just not interested in them. I know it’s wrong and it’s...

There Are Much Worse Places To Do Laundry Than The Nürburgring
There Are Much Worse Places To Do Laundry Than The Nürburgring
I hate doing laundry so much that I usually drop it off somewhere and make a wash-and-fold joint do it. All that waiting and sitting at home. Grooooan. One spectator at the Nürburgring figured out how to make laundry tolerable, though: she set up right outside one of the turns...
