Horrible rally crash. Hope driver and navigator came out okay.

Looks like to me they did ok. Lotta dissipation with bumper wall to shoot them up and thank god they went in water vs a wall or tree. Hopefully all good. Mike

Glad the guys on the levee weren't bothered from checking their email.

Respectfully you shouldn't post this if you don't know the health or status of the driver and navigator.

That driver sure doesn't learn from his mistakes! I've seen him do nearly identical crashes in at least 3 or 4 different Rennlist posts over the past couple days.

I saw this somewhere else and read the driver and co-pilot were OK and walked away.

Excuse me Mr. montoya but respectfully since you so righteously objected I did a ten second search and both individuals are physically okay.
Clear sir.

What happened there? Didn't even look like he tried to turn right into the turn x(

Since as stated above everyone was ok a little Clarkson wisdom on the crash is in order.

Just do that first next time, not so hard keeps the forum clean and really it's just out of respect for the people that have had the unfortunate incident. I really like our NW club policy where all DE organizers ban anyone for life that posts wrecks and crashes. This is different since it's a competitive event so there is an assumption that what happens goes public, but still if someone is hurt or killed it's still not cool.

Drive locked eyes on what he was trying to avoid instead of looking where he wanted to go, this and not lifting off the brakes is the reason it went bad!

The 'crowd' didn't rush to help!

He thought he was Seb Vettel, clearly he was more like Mr Bean... Braked wayyyy to late, there was no chance that poor was going tp make that turn when being braked from there... actually no use even braking at that point, maybe a drift was the way to go

This is on the Racing Forum too... It was reported that his throttle stuck.

I find it odd to the guy on the levee seemed unaffected by what just happened in front of him as if that **** is the usual outcome?!
