Nah, if it was sim racing he'd just get through, then have the guy behind him plow into the back of him at full throttle!

Shit, poor guy. I honestly thought these modern cars are safe as. But this was an extreme hit, too. Well, I guess they didn't die and that's a step up from the olden days. Still.

Kris Meeke's Rally Argentina:

Stage 4, went off the road and rolled:



His mechanics had 3 hours at the end of the day to repair it, which they did.



So the next day he decided to do it properly:

Yeah, very occasionally. :) I guess it comes from being Colin McRae's protégé.

This year with the new cars it seems all the drivers are having more off-road moments, even Seb Ogier went off the road twice in Argentina but managed to get away with it.

For those on FB my brother posted this 360 view of one of his races from Winton a couple of weeks ago.
It's a little long but it's pretty cool to see how much wheel spin sidecars get and how unstable they are.
