Video: many crashes
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?

ai ai ai ai :D hilarious

Does "rally" in Finnish mean logging with cars? I can think of several better ways to cleear a field, but none more entertaining!

@airbuggy: The vikings came from Denmark. The history of Finland is nowhere near as interesting.

Wow, that's the best Rally Crashes vid I've seen. Because there's no crappy music!! And there were some choice shunts in there. I recognised most of the cars, but what was that little hatchback that kept appearing? It's like a Honda N360 crossed with a Vauxhall Nova. It first appears 15 seconds in, looking at the camera like "Oh noes!" before cutting down a tree.

FR offers ignificant performance shortfall versus insignificant savings. Buy the Cupra. Or better yet the Clio Cup.

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