    I haven't seen the actual footage but can you give us a little more detail on the setting, how did they end up getting airborne?

    I think this may be a case of that new focus "torque verctoring" going horribly wrong, do you think that the grill vents were closed for more aerodynamic flight?

    Orly? It's not his fault that SRT can't afford to sponsor him for WRC. So, taking the opportunity to go with Ford in WRC is another step for him to explore his career further. Again, cut him some slack, he is still a novice to WRC. Even the topdogs like Marcus...and others have had fatal crashes as well. There is a need for speed in WRC hence, any slight mistake is bound to disaster of some sort.

    I think in rally you can't be blamed for crashing, but can be asked why, what happpened?
    Let's see Marcus here...
