WOW!!!!!


Either extremely lucky or talented x 1million. I agree when he said he doesnt know how he held that - getting off the power like that (at least thats what it sounded like) in an AWD when it starts sliding is asking for trouble...

Fixed. I'm not bitter about it at all...

Super impressive stuff from Higgens!!! but it's not the first time Isle of Man has produced a moment exactly like that! This is still my favorite piece of in car rally footage ever:
