Crash Review - Rally drivers speak a different language

"Left five opens five hundred into long crest into crest into right three into left four."

The course notes being called out in a rally race are all but gibberish to the uninitiated. When we hear Lars Wolfe talk about them, though, we're somehow able to keep up. Watch this fascinating retelling of a recent crash and youll gain a greater understanding of rally racing, too.

Lars Wolfe is Rally Program Director and team driver for WORKS Motorsports. Hes had two serious crashes this season and in rally racing the consequences of small errors can be very big. Pirouette isnt a word you want associated with your car crash.

By Lars own admission he has a hard head, so hes already back for more. "You win when you lose when you learn," he told us. Even his motto sounds made for course-notes efficiency.
