Remember, a couple of series ago, when James headed to Finland to find out what makes Finnish drivers so damn quick?
Well, we think we've figured it out.
Crashing. Lots of crashing.
An enterprising soul on YouTube has put together this most excellent compilation of Finnish rally crashes, and it makes curiously compulsive viewing.
Having caused ourselves light retinal and psychological damage by sitting through the full 10-minute ordeal, we can conclude that there is only one group of people more fearless than Finnish rally drivers... and that's Finnish rally spectators.
Go on then, which crash is your favourite?
Video: many crashes
Everyone loves a good rally crash, but no one more than those crazy Finns

And yet when serious damage is done, it's morbid. Go figure.

1:51 - looks like laws of physics don't apply on Finnish rally.
