one of the opening scenes is the footage of the driver clipping a wall and fishtailing through a cattle grid gap while the co driver is saying 'dear god!'. seen it online before but full screen is impressive!

It's well worth a watch, even though rather sobering.

In the 1980s my father had two ur Quattros. They were serviced by Dave Sutton Motorsport in Daventry - he was the man who prepped the works Audis.

Watching now - those fans trying to touch the cars as they passed! A guy getting his leg broken was happy because it was Walter Rhohl đŸ˜®

If you've not seen the full video of the "Dear God" incident,he picked up a rear puncture, and was then seen flat in fifth over the top of the mountains on roads barely wider than the car.Think the footage was from the"In Car Manx" series (or possibly "Ticket to Ride"), all well worth watching, as is "The Vatanen Touch".

I found this hilariously funny..

This being the highlight for me:

This is not the first time Fischer has courted controversy over the role of co-drivers. In 2009, after finding himself without a co-driver for the Jyvaskyla Rally in Finland, he kidnapped a homeless man and forcibly strapped him into the passenger seat to ensure that the two-people-in-each-car rule was complied with. The stunt only came to light when onboard footage taken during the race revealed that rather than reading the ‘pace notes’, the Finnish co-driver was in fact screaming the words ‘Oh shit!’ over and over again, occasionally interspersed with other phrases including, ‘Watch out for that house’ and ‘Slow down, you mad bastard’.

Makes it all the more impressive, even on PS3 games I take half an interest in what the co-driver is saying!
