Norwegian rally driver Petter Solberg and his co-driver Chris Patterson had a narrow escape during the recent Rallye de France 2012. Here are three video clips of the incident, first from the point of view of the spectators; second, from a helicopter; and finally, from inside the car.
I hope he bought a few lottery tickets after that, while his luck was still running hot! I wonder what the vineyard owner had to say about his vanquished vines?
Peter
Yeah, wondering who paid for those vines too??? and just plain BAD luck to hit that power pole!!!
Never touched the brake.
Gerry
That pole darn near hit a spectator, too!
