Subaru WRX Flips Multiple Times In Scary Rally Car Crash
Total Pro Sports - We have seen why Rally Car Racing can be a frightening sport at times. Whether the drivers are coming inches away from having their head decapitated by a tree, or falling hundreds of feet down a mountain, there is no shortage of terrifying events that may occur during these races.
In this clip, a driver of a Subaru WRX encounters a similar fate to those who have previously seen their life flash before their eyes. As he flies over a bump in the road at incredible speeds, the front of his car gets under him, causing the vehicle to lose control, spin sideways, and flip several times (we counted at least seven rotations).
The condition of the driver is unknown, but he would be lucky to avoid suffering a similar fatal outcome to NASCAR's Carlos Pardo or Formula 2 driver Henry Surtees. When these individuals step into their cars, they know that there is a high level of risk associated with their occupations. I guess that's just the price they pay sometimes for fulfilling their need for speed. I think I'll stick with speed limit driving for now.

Fatal outcome HA! Tis but a scratch! They would have walked away from that, the body of the car is still intact which means the rollcage did it’s job.
you wouldn’t get that problem in a lancer XD hehe
damn wat a crazy and stupid sport
Anyone agree?
Nope. I think racing is a pure sport, and the better drivers don’t go head over ass over head over ass over head over ass……
should have been driving a FORD
Walk it off……..
Was he’s died?
Most fans of NASCAR would know that barrel rolling is actually a good thing. It is energy being released. Real problems occur (as in Pardo’s crash) when the vehicle comes to a sudden stop….so the driver might have a couple of bruises but I’m sure he lived to race again.
@DHD no he is not dead!!
Warren, actually I think rally racing is one of the best sports in motorsports. The talent and skill that is required to race those cars like they do is simply amazing. It blows away many other more successful motorsports in this light even though they may be more popular.
It’s also a testament to the safety precautions taken in rally racing that arguably the most well known ambasador of it was not killed in a rally accident, but a helicopter accident. RIP Colin McRae

@Major Tom
Good point, talent, skill and a little luck is required!!!!
This happened years ago. I saw it on a WRC race recap. They survived it. The driver was interviewed and he said it was a jump they expected to pull off, but they had not realized that the car’s rear spoiler had come off during a previous tangle with a tree. With the spoiler, designed to force the rear of the car down, missing the rear floated up causing the nose dive. Those spoilers do serve a purpose on a WRC machine, but won’t do much for your 89 civic
yeah it looks bad but theres roll cages there fine
